Juan Ortiz Freuler is an Affiliate at the Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society, and a Policy Fellow at the Web Foundation where he works close to Sir Tim Berners-Lee on the social impacts of the web.

He was previously a Google Policy Fellow and has worked with several NGOs in Mexico and Argentina on the intersection between rights and ICTs.

At Berkman he is following the debates on net neutrality and the re-decentralization of the web. He is also researching how algorithms can be made accountable to the people they affect and how to ensure this is assessed based on a locally constructed conception of justice.
