In our increasingly interconnected world, the internet has emerged as an enabler of progress, a source of information, and a platform for communication. But even though the digital revolution has the power to be a force for good, it also presents challenges to preserving human rights and freedoms.
This is a factor during this year’s Internet Governance Forum (IGF) in Kyoto, Japan, which is taking place from 8th-12th October 2023. Established by the United Nations in 2006 to bring together governments, civil society, private sector organisations, technical experts, and academia, it provides space where various multi-stakeholders can dialogue inclusively on internet-related issues.
