Icelandic Modern Media Initiative

The Icelandic Modern Media Initiative was a parliamentary resolution which was unanimously adopted by the Icelandic Parliament 16 June 2010. It aimed to make Iceland a journalistic safe haven, protecting both freedom of expression as well as freedom of information.[1][2]

To be provided safe haven under Themis, the server must be located in Iceland.[3] According to Julian Assange in 2010, to operate one of WikiLeaks servers for a year costs € 200,000.[3][4]
