PROSA believes that the wider society will benefit from hearing the voice of IT professionals on the socially and politically related implications of IT applications.

Today, many political issues today involve complicated IT elements. However, with a few notable exceptions there is not generally a deep understanding among the members of the Danish parliament for the realities of how IT really works.

PROSA has been active in many areas including: 

• Fighting the legalisation of software patents in Europe – we believe that software patents would damage innovation and only benefit large companies – until now successfully
• Arguing against increased use of privacy invading technologies generally targeting citizens for surveillance purposes by government (the secret services) – an ongoing fight
• Supporting the right to freely use encryption technologies – also successfully 
• Advocating the use of open standards in governments IT system – now passed as law by parliament
• Supporting good standards for data protection – allowing privacy for citizens
• Working for free access to and use of the internet – against censorship 
• For digital rights generally in the media world
