Lizzy O'Shea of Digital Rights Watch is acting as Alliance for a Safe and Secure Internet,

Erm, I'm getting cognitive dissonance there. You've introduced the "Alliance for a Safe and Secure Internet" as having a lot of big and important members behind it (oo-er, missus), now you imply she's one woman.

I can correct that in various ways, with meanings that are similar but not identical:

" ... is acting for ... " (the minimal correction in letters changed)

" ... is acting as spokesman for ... " (as above, more specific capacity)

" ... is speaking for ... " (limiting the occasion too)

" ... acts for ... " (generalises the context),

" ... speaks on behalf of ... " (generalise context, specifies capacity)

etc.
