WEBCAST FEB 25: Global Encryption Coalition Webinar: Government Hacking

October 21, 2026February 25, 2021 by ISOC Live

On Thursday February 25th 2021 at 11:00-12:30 EST (16:00-17:30 UTC) the Global Encryption Coalition presents a webinar ‘Government Hacking‘.

In recent months, governments’ technical capabilities to search mobile devices has come under greater scrutiny. Newly published research from academics and organizations like Upturn have cast new light on how governments may be gaining access to mobile devices and its consequences. The American Civil Liberties Union has also launched a lawsuit against the FBI, demanding they disclose records of its “technological capabilities for retrieving information from locked electronic devices.” At the same time, across the Atlantic, Europol has seemed to pour resources into government hacking with the launch of its new “Decryption Platform.”

Experts from academia and civil society will discuss government hacking, its consequences for security and privacy, and its influence on the debate around end-to-end encryption.

SPEAKERS
Jenifer Granick, American Civil Liberties Union
Sven Herpig, Stiftung Neue Verantwortung
Mallory Knodel, Center for Democracy and Technology

WEBCAST TODAY – A Conversation with the Oversight Board – Facebook’s Trump Ban and the Future of Online Speech

February 11, 2021 by ISOC Live

On Thursday February 11 2021 at 11:30am-12:30pm EST (16:30-17:30 UTC) the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace hosts a panel ‘A Conversation with the Oversight Board – Facebook’s Trump Ban and the Future of Online Speech‘. Last year, Facebook set up the Oversight Board as an independent body to review its content moderation decisions and make binding judgments about its policies. Described by Mark Zuckerberg as Facebook’s “Supreme Court,” the Board has rendered its first set of decisions and is now poised to consider one of the most significant questions in the world: should Donald Trump’s Facebook account remain suspended due to incitements leading to the January 6th storming of the U.S. Capitol, or should Trump be allowed back on the platform to reconnect with his millions of followers?

Helle Thorning-Schmidt, Oversight Board Co-Chair and former Prime Minister of Denmark
Dex Hunter-Torricke, Oversight Board Head of Communications
David Kaye, former United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Right to Freedom of Opinion and Expression;
