9:00am - Virtual Community Building Tips (Glitter Meetup)
The IFF team will share what they have learned throughout the years on how to build healthy, resilient communities, especially when you a relying on virtual communications to make it happen. Others are encouraged to share their tips and lessons learned as well.
11:30am - Taking the High Route - the Internet routing architecture and human rights (Community Knowledge Share Series)
Where: https://internetfreedomfestival.formstack.com/forms/cks1
The lives of billions of people have become entangled with the Internet, and with that, it has become the backbone of information societies. By facilitating the interconnection among over 72.000 separate and independent networks, commonly known as Autonomous Systems (ASes), Internet routing forms a foundational part of the Internet as we know it, even though it is unknown and invisible to most people. In this presentation, Niels will discuss the interrelation between Internet routing and human rights, showcase how Internet routing is changing with the introduction of 5G and the introduction of new national laws, and how this is affecting human rights. Join IFF long time community member, Niels ten Oever, to learn about his recent and current research on everything about the Internet that you cannot see, and brainstorm on what we can do to start preparing. Niels is an old school digital rights defender, having worked in places like Free Press Unlimited, ARTICLE 19, and others.
Preparation: Preparation is not needed at all. But if you feel like reading, have a look at chapter 1 and 10 of Laura DeNardis' book 'The Global War for Internet Governance' and chapter 8 of Ashwin Mathew's dissertation 'Where in the World is the Internet' (both are attached).
