ASPEN DIGITAL: When the Web Goes Dark: State Control & the Internet
Today, Tuesday March 9 2021, at 12pm EST (17:00 UTC) Aspen Digital hosts a webinar ‘When the Web Goes Dark: State Control & the Internet‘. Autocrats around the world are manipulating access to the internet as a means of state control, especially in the face of protests and dissent. From Myanmar to Venezuela to Iran, we’ve seen a rise in blackouts cutting off critical channels of communication, an increasingly dangerous prospect in the middle of a pandemic. This public program will feature experts in human rights, technology, and cyber access to understand the implications of blocking freedom of information, and what can be done about it.
