Stockholm Internet Forum 2017
Abstract
Stockholm Internet Forum (SIF) is an international forum for in-depth dialogue and discussions on how a free, open and secure internet promotes human rights and development worldwide. Nayantara Ranganathan will be representing the Internet Democracy Project at SIF.
The Forum aims to bring together policymakers, civil society representatives, activists, business representatives and technical community representatives. SIF has a standing tradition of focusing on the global south and half of the participants come from low-and middle-income countries, often from places where internet access is restricted and efforts to promote both internet freedom and human rights can be dangerous.
The over arching theme of SIF 2017 is “access and power”.
