Access Now — program: Digital Security Helpline — 24/7 free technical support for journalists, activists, and human rights defenders. Received more than 4,000 requests for assistance in 2024.
The source webpage confirms most elements of the claim: the program name (Digital Security Helpline), the 24/7 availability ('Our 24/7 services are available'), the free nature ('We are a free-of-charge resource'), and the target beneficiaries ('civil society groups & activists, media organizations, journalists & bloggers, and human rights defenders'). However, the source text provided does not contain any mention of the specific statistic that the Helpline 'received more than 4,000 requests for assistance in 2024.' This data point is not addressed in the extracted source material, making it unverifiable from this source alone. The claim is partially confirmed but the key quantitative metric cannot be verified.

NoteThe provided source text appears to be only the header, navigation menu, and subscription form sections of the Access Now webpage. While it confirms that Access Now has a 'Digital Security Helpline' program, the excerpt does not contain any information about: (1) whether it provides 24/7 free technical support for journalists, activists, and human rights defenders; (2) the number of requests received in 2024; (3) the launch date of 2013 or establishment date of 2009. To verify these specific claims, the full page content or additional sources would be needed.
