Why is it important?

Authoritarian regimes survive by controlling information and discourse through propaganda and censorship. The Internet is a final hurdle for enemies of free communications and independent thought. The result – networks replete with surveillance and censorship, affecting the rights of millions to freedom of expression and association. This has led to, among others things, widespread ignorance and ambivalence among Russians to their governments’ atrocities in Ukraine, the Caucasus and beyond. Now, the state threatens total disconnection from the global network – life behind a digital iron curtain.

Internet without borders – it is breakthrough technologies, active community, development and launch of projects.

Conference Mar 24th

We are talking about the problems of studying, measuring Internet censorship and countering blocking and isolation. The main goal is to increase the number of people using VPNs and other circumvention tools.

Hackaton Mar 25th

Technology partners offer teams to solve problems related to bypassing locks and analyzing shutdowns. Teams that successfully complete tasks will receive cash prizes.

How to take part

You can participate in any format: conference only, hackathon, or both days. The event will take place offline, without online broadcasting. Participation is free. Come and invite your colleagues.
