Digital Dilemmas: Discussing Responses to Internet Censorship and Surveillance

Please join us for a panel discussion, with a reception to follow.
When national governments want to block particular Internet activities or content, or see what users are doing, they typically turn to the private companies that manage pieces of the Internet, including Internet Service Providers, search engines, email services, blogging and news portals, and even hardware providers.
As pressures to filter, censor, and monitor the Internet have mounted, some internet and communications technology (ICT) companies, academics, human rights activists, socially responsible investors, and civil society participants have held a series of conversations about how to respond. This event will tap project participants to have as candid a conversation as possible about the process in which they've engaged, and the role that corporations should play in response to government-mandated Internet censorship and surveillance, with particular but not exclusive emphasis on authoritarian regimes.
