This session will focus in detail on ways to strengthen dissident voices by integrating technological innovation with policy reform. Building the dissident Web will require that developers, hackers and technologists work in close coordination with policy advocates to support our rights to connect and communicate. The right polices can safeguard user privacy and encryption, protect Net Neutrality, and open the airwaves to independent networks.
