Karen is a former Danish diplomat turned politician and digital activist. In 2019 Karen was elected to the European Parliament. She is focused on digital regulation.
The fight for an open and free internet has been at the centre of her political work as she sees this as the only way to ensure freedom of speech and democracy around the world.
The Snowden revelations underlined for her how our civil rights are being undermined even by our own governments. Part of Karen’s political work looks to improve our political culture in a time where “filter bubbles” and polarisation seem more common than real dialogue.
