Tech for Good

The year was fruitful for Oxylabs pro-bono initiative, Project 4β, which provides public web data gathering infrastructure to those driving social impact. Oxylabs broadened partnerships with NGOs, investigative journalism organizations and academic institutions. Among the most prominent new partnerships were Bellingcat, Global Witness, The Ferret, and The Pulitzer Center, and well as collaborations with researchers from Northwestern, Stanford and Carnegie Mellon University.
