Homo Digitalis pursues its mission through three main pillars[3] of activity:

  • Awareness-raising and public education on digital rights and responsible use of technology
  • Policy advocacy and participation in legislative processes related to emerging technologies and digital regulation
  • Strategic litigation and legal interventions aimed at defending individuals’ rights in the digital environment.

Notable actions of Homo Digitalis include strategic legal cases that have led to administrative fines and official findings of unlawful technology use by the Hellenic Data Protection Authority. Examples include Hellenic DPA's Decision 13/2024,[4] which imposed administrative sanctions to the Hellenic Ministry of Asylum and Migration for the ICT systems Centaur and Hyperion,[5] and Hellenic DPA's Decision 45/2025[6] concerning the Hellenic Police’s ‘Smart Policing’ system, which was found to violate data protection rules.[7]
