17.00 – 19.00 CET (GMT+1)
Venue: De Balie, Amsterdam / Remote: Berlin / London

The bandwidth in closed societies like for example Iran and Syria are low because of political reasons. Even though at the same time it slows down business opportunities. Thereby the system of filtering and blocking on line content is sophisticated. Both countries have a young population (50 – 70% younger than 30 years) and lots of them want to connect with and have access to information. No surprise that circumvention tools are widely used.
How can this politically induced slowness of networks be addressed in a discussion of global connectivity?
In collaboration with Monique Doppert, Hivos, The Hague & Tactical Technology Collective (London).

With:

Sami Ben Gharbia, co-founder of nawaat.org (which means the core in Arabic), a Tunisian collective blog about news and politics, and Advocacy Director at Global Voices.
