WEBCAST JUN 25 – Internet Shutdowns, and How to Stop Them

ISOC LIVE

ISOC LIVEOn Tuesday June 25 2024 at 09:00-10:30 EDT (13:00-14:30 UTC) the Internet Society Washington DC Chapter (ISOC-DC) and the Internet Society New York Chapter (ISOC-NY) in collaboration with Access Now will host a webinar ‘Internet Shutdowns, and How to Stop Them‘.

It is an unfortunate fact that, in some regions of the world, our best efforts to make an ‘Internet for Everyone’ are all too often undercut by deliberate withdrawals of service, mandated by the powers that be. Three organizations have taken it upon themselves to shine light on this issue: Access Now, with its #KeepItOn advocacy campaign to oppose shutdowns; The Internet Society on its Pulse platform, which has not only a Shutdown Tracker, but also a Netloss Calculator to estimate the resulting economic damage; and Columbia Global Freedom of Expression, which specifically tracks legal challenges to shutdowns.

PRESENTERS
Natalia Krapiva, Senior Tech-Legal Counsel, Access Now
[SHRINKING DEMOCRACY, GROWING VIOLENCE – Internet shutdowns in 2023]

Joan Barata, Senior Legal Fellow, Future Free Speech Project
[Internet Shutdowns in international law]

Dan York, Director, Internet Technology, Internet Society
[Global Internet Shutdowns]

WEBCAST MAR 6 – Mapping Humanitarian Tech: exposing protection gaps in digital transformation programmes

isoc live

isoc liveOn Wednesday March 6, 2024, at 11:00-12:00 EST (16:00-17:00 UTC) the Internet Society Washington DC Chapter (ISOC-DC) and the Internet Society New York Chapter (ISOC-NY) present a webinar on Access Now’s new report ‘Mapping Humanitarian Tech: exposing protection gaps in digital transformation programmes‘.

People experiencing vulnerability as a consequence of conflict and violence often rely on a small group of humanitarian actors, trusted because of their claims of neutrality, impartiality, and independence from the warring parties. They rely on these humanitarian organisations and agencies for subsistence, protection, and access to basic services and information, in the darkest times in their lives. Yet these same actors can expose them to further harm. The report examines the partnerships between humanitarian actors and private corporations, how these often-opaque partnerships impact the digital rights of the affected communities, and offers recommendations for keeping people safe.

PRESENTER
Giulio Coppi – Senior Humanitarian Officer, Access Now

HOST / MODERATOR
Chelsea Horne, Senior Professorial Lecturer, American University Department of Literature / Co-convenor, ISOC-DC
