Description
The Internet has significant potential to enable freedom of expression, but governments around the world are increasingly savvy in how to use various technologies to block access to information and silence speakers. From filtering mandates in the European Union to network shutdowns around the world, this panel will explore how technology and the law are being used to censor, and how activists, journalists, and human rights advocates are fighting back.
