On Wednesday June 7 2023 the ISOC-NY TV show features features the May NYC Mesh Org Meetup, which includes a ‘State of the Mesh’ report by Brian Hall, plus Ryan Polk of the Internet Society explains why, in the face of ‘backdoor’ legislation, encryption matters.
The Indian government has introduced the Digital India campaign so that citizens are able to access government services electronically. It is also helping improve Internet infrastructure and create a digitally empowered nation. A key factor in achieving these aims is to ensure that online access is secure and trusted, and citizens can use these services confidently. Especially since in today’s digital economy, even a vegetable seller is selling and receiving money online, small businesses are expanding their online markets, people are accessing citizen centric services, women and girls are getting an opportunity to seek knowledge and get empowered, it is important that their communication and interactions remain safe and secure. Encryption and other security technologies help provide that level of confidence to users.
The round table will deliberate on how regulations should be framed so that secured technologies can facilitate the Digital India and other government initiatives.

On Tuesday June 7 2022 at 13:00-14:00 UTC the International Association for Media and Communication Research (IAMCR) Communication Policy & Technology Section presents a webinar ‘Concealing for Freedom‘. Authors Francesca Musiani and Ksenia Ermoshina will launch their new book ‘Concealing for Freedom: The Making of Encryption, Secure Messaging and Digital Liberties‘ (Mattering Press), the first in-depth sociological inquiry in the field of secure communication. Current debates around encryption have fundamental implications for our individual liberties and collective presence on the Internet, while the cryptography community has renewed its efforts to create next-generation secure messaging protocols and applications. The webinar will show how these tools differ in their intended technical architectures, their targeted user publics, and the underlying values and business models.

On Friday April 1 2022, at 1pm-2pm EDT (17:00-18:00 UTC) the Internet Society Washington DC Chapter, in partnership with the Center for Democracy and Technology and Stanford Internet Observatory hosts a discussion ‘Content Moderation in an End-to-End Encrypted World’. In recent years the focus of the encryption debate has shifted to social media platforms and messaging services’ content moderation policies and practices. While not always explicitly targeting end-to-end encryption (E2EE), proposals to regulate social media companies, including the proposed EARN IT Act bill in the U.S., MeitY’s Intermediary Guidelines in India, and the proposed Online Safety Bill in the U.K. could have serious implications for E2EE services. As this policy debate continues, companies have proposed methods to moderate content on E2EE platforms that raise privacy concerns, such as those that utilize machine learning and client-side scanning. This event will feature presentations on critical research in this area, highlight global efforts to defend encryption against movements to undermine it, and include an open discussion.
PANEL Riana Pfefferkorn, Research Scholar, Stanford Internet Observatory Mallory Knodel, Chief Technology Officer, Center for Democracy and Technology
MODERATOR Ryan Polk, Director, Internet Policy, Internet Society
On Friday January 28 2022 from 11:30-12:30 CET (10:30-11:30 UTC) Encryption Europe celebrates Data Privacy Day with a public debate to reconcile seemingly opposite views: privacy and encryption as enablers of security. The panel will aim to remind the community that privacy is not a given and must be defended, and that those who defend privacy do so responsibly.
