Activism and digital infrastructures
Channel: European Digital Rights
Date: 2020-04-01

This panel will problematise the use of data-driven tools and corporate-owned platforms by
activist organisations. We will discuss how the goals and values of these tools and platforms
align with the goals and values of activist organisations. We aim to discuss questions such
as how activists can put their ideas and values into practice while still being able to protect
the privacy of their peers and supporters and how can organisers reach large audiences while
retaining a quality of participation for their supporters.

The panel will be moderated as a participative discussion between the panelists and the
audience, and a dedicated team will take notes, which will be summarised and published
afterwards. The long-term objective is to develop a guideline with critical questions on the
use of communication technologies and practices for activists.

Moderator:
* Jan Tobias Muehlberg, ICT Security Researcher at KU Leuven

Speakers:
* Amber Macintyre, Tactical Tech
* Glyn Thomas, Digital Strategy Consultant working with NGOs
* Friedemann Ebelt, Digitalcourage
* Michael Hulet, Extinction Rebellion Belgium
