| Free The Nipple | 6:30-7:30pm | Praia da Poça | Long before AI moderation and algorithmic bias became mainstream concerns, Free The Nipple was asking a fundamental question about digital platforms: who gets to be visible, and whose bodies and expression get censored? Let’s take that question beyond the screen and into our lived experience. Join Free The Nipple for informal, topless-friendly beach time and sea-side conversations about platform governance, bodily autonomy, and digital rights. Topless is welcome, never required. Come to learn, talk, or simply enjoy the beach - this is not an organized protest or demonstration, but a chance to celebrate the freedom, safety and equality promoted by Free The Nipple.
