Why you should care about censorship?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

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 \u2013 networks replete with surveillance and censorship, affecting the rights of millions to freedom of expression and association. This has led to, among other things, widespread ignorance and ambivalence among Russians to their governments’ atrocities in Ukraine, the Caucasus, and beyond. Now, the Russian state threatens total disconnection from the global network \u2013 life behind a digital iron curtain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since February 2022, eQualitie<\/a> and Teplitsa<\/a> (together with global tech and content partners) have brought eight \u201cInternet Without Borders\u201d events to Tbilisi, Yerevan, Vilnius, Warsaw, Berlin, Paris, Haifa, and Prague. In may 2023, together with Baltic Center for Media Excellence<\/a>, we invite you to join us in our effort for free internet for all. We believe that free flow of quality information is essential to fight authoritarianism<\/strong>. We believe that free internet is crucial to end the war in Ukraine and help Ukraine bring back its territories (read our statement<\/a>). <\/p>\n\n\n
