We have been watching the window close on what we are allowed to discuss online. This window is known as the Overton Window and on many topics it’s already sealed it closed. The Challenge is about everyone that values Freedom of Speech coming together to exercise their right to free speech in number that cannon be ignored. Freedom of Speech Day is part of Digital Freedom Awareness Week – EVERY WEEK!.
People are censored, fined, and even arrested for what George Orwell called WRONGTHINK
Around the world, voices are being silenced
The censorship is not to protect you from anything – it hides the truth, conceals corruption, and weaponises words like hate speech, misinformation,’ and harmful content to control what you’re allowed to say. Those who challenge the official narrative are labelled conspiracy theorists, extremists, racists, phobes, even domestic terrorists.
These words and labels are OVERUSED and have become MEANINGLESS
People see through their game: the real intent is silence debate, control speech, hide the truth while gaslighting us with propaganda. They want you to believe you’re isolated, but in reality millions feel the same. Until now resistance was scattered so it’s been easy to silence one voice at a time.
We Have the Power To Change Everything!
The Open the Overton Window Challenge: A simple show of virtual hands to prove we are the majority, united in asserting our right to Free Speech
Their illusion of representing ‘community standards’ only remains because the Window is closed on Free Speech. Cracks are already forming. Trust in authority is collapsing, and one collective gentle push may be all it takes to Shatter the Window and expose the lie.
IF WE ALL ACT TOGETHER
WE HAVE POWER and
The power is literary at our fingertips
Its as simple as deciding if you are going to…
RISK: SAFEST
A TAP means posting safe, generic material that celebrates free speech and the principle of open conversation, generally not considered controversial.
SUPPORT THE PRINCIPLE
This level is for sharing general, positive content that affirms the principle of free speech without inviting controversy. It lets people show solidarity and add visible numbers to a universal assertion of our right to free speech without attracting unwanted attention.
RISK: LOW
A PUSH is posting something that directly challenges or calls out specific censorship without actually violating a platform’s Terms of Service or breaking any laws.
CRAFT YOU OWN MESSAGE
This level is for people who want to share a specific message in support of free speech potentially tied to local issues, personal beliefs, or policy critiques, while staying within platform community standards, terms of service, and applicable laws.
RISK: MODERATE
A BIG PUSH is a group of people coming together perhaps around a local concern or shared issue and designing a strategic campaign to FORCE THE CONVERSATION.
JOIN A CAMPAIGN
This level is for people who want to join forces around a shared message. A Big Push uses the same Level 2 techniques, but when a message is amplified by a group at significant scale, the sheer weight of voices concentrated on one point can trigger a different dynamic and playbook.
Whether you gently Tap, Push or join a Big Push to Force the Window Open, together the pressure could shatter their artificial Window and let in the Fresh air of Digital Freedom and the Light of Truth – it could all be over in a day!
This is NOT a protest
We are not here to ask or even demand that someone hand back our “right to Free Speech.” That right was always ours.
Instead, we are here to assert it, side by side, and in numbers impossible to ignore.
A Neutral Initiative – This challenge belongs to everyone.
This is not about politics and all the other things they use to keep us divided. It’s about something far deeper: the foundation of human liberty in the digital age. Privacy, free speech, and the right to access information without surveillance or censorship should not be partisan issues – these are universal values that every person has a right to as affirmed in the 12 Principles of Digital Freedom.
Taking part in Freedom of Speech Day (and Digital Freedom Awareness Week) doesn’t mean you endorse DFA’s principles. It doesn’t mean you align with any political group, ideology, or movement.
It means one thing only: you support free speech as a universal principle.
Two people may hold completely opposing viewpoints yet still unite in supporting each other’s right to speak at all. That’s the beauty of this initiative: it is not about agenda; it is about the principle itself.
