NoteThe source webpage confirms most elements of the claim: it explicitly states the Helpline offers '24/7, real-time, direct technical assistance and advice' and is 'a free-of-charge resource' serving 'civil society groups & activists, media organizations, journalists & bloggers, and human rights defenders.' The subject match is correct. However, the critical quantitative claim—'more than 4,000 requests for assistance in 2024'—is not mentioned anywhere in the provided source text. The source does not contain any statistics about request volume for 2024 or any other year. The additional context about the Helpline's founding (2009, formally launched 2013) is also not addressed in the source. Without the 2024 request figure in the source, the claim cannot be fully confirmed.

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.
