About FULU Foundation
FULU Foundation exists to inform, mobilize, and equip consumers to take back control over their devices and content. We expose anti-consumer practices, challenge the legal frameworks that enable them, and work to build a culture that values true ownership. Through storytelling, advocacy, and public education, we aim to shift both policy and public perception toward a world where consumers have full control over their tech, where buying a product means having the full right to use, repair, customize, and understand it without interference.
