Not to be confused with citizenlab.ca, a research lab of University of Toronto that deals with high profile civil right violations using OSINT and tech analysis.

That's gotta be deeply frustrating for the original Citizen Lab who was founded 15 years before this company.

It makes me wonder how much of their income has come from the good work and reputation of the original Citizen Lab.

They are focused on completely different things though, this seems to be neighbourhood projects in Belgium and the Netherlands. Not focused on privacy and citizen data at all. But yeah they should have picked a different name.
