SUMMARY:g0v Summit 2024
DESCRIPTION:g0v (gov-zero) is a grassroots community of software developers\, designers\, activists\, educators\, writers\, and citizens\, focused on improving civil society through technology and collaboration. Since its inception in 2014\, the g0v Summit has facilitated cross-sector exchanges among open-source communities\, NGOs\, governments\, academics\, and netizens alike. \n\n\n\nThe 2024 summit will focus on the following themes: \n\n\n\n\n“Nerd politics” vs. digital governance;\n\n\n\nData\, AI\, and community collaboration;\n\n\n\nGrassroots\, open\, polycentric\, and communal responses to political and technological authoritarianism;\n\n\n\nDigital infrastructure grounded in empathy\, inclusiveness\, and plurality; and\n\n\n\nConvergence of technology and social issues.\n\n\n\n\nHere’s where you can find Access Now on day 1 of g0v Summit 2024.  \n\n\n\n\n\nHighlight\n\n\n\n\n\nDefending digital rights in the age of digital authoritarianism \n\n\n\n12:30 pm — 2:00 pm Taipei time | International Conference Hall \n\n\n\nIn today’s interconnected world\, digital rights are fundamental for protecting personal privacy\, free expression\, and access to information. As technology continues to evolve\, so do the threats intent on undermining these rights. Hosted by Access Now\, this three-part discussion will focus on three examples of digital authoritarianism: the weaponization of internet shutdowns\, spyware and the abuse of surveillance technologies\, and threats against people’s data rights. \n\n\n\nThis Highlight session features Access Now’s Raman Jit Singh Chima\, Asia Pacific Policy Director and Global Cybersecurity Lead; Michael De Dora\, U.S. Policy and Advocacy Manager; Namrata Maheshwari\, Senior Policy Counsel and Encryption Policy Lead; and Golda Benjamin\, Asia Pacific Campaigner. It will be moderated by Chihhao Yu\, Co-director at IORG. \n\n\n\n\n\nCommunity Track\n\n\n\n\n\nDigital resilience: What to do if the internet Is out? \n\n\n\n2:10 pm — 3:40 pm Taipei time | International Conference Hall \n\n\n\nSince the 2021 coup in Myanmar\, telecom companies have aligned with the military junta\, making it easy for the military to order shutdowns at any time. Meanwhile\, Taiwan’s largest telecoms provider Chunghwa claims that undersea cables have been cut 27 times in the past five years; a disproportionate rate compared with other parts of the world. The discussion will focus on learnings from both regions that can guide global stakeholders in strengthening digital resilience and safeguarding human rights. \n\n\n\nThis Community Track session features Wen Lii\, Director of International Affairs\, Democratic Progressive Party; Fu Shiang Ching\, Research Associate at the Institute of Information Science\, Academia Sinica; and Golda Benjamin\, Asia Pacific Campaigner at Access Now. \n\n\n\n\n\nWe will also be supporting our partners in the “East Asian civic tech communities amid global democratic backslide” keynote panel (R0\, 10:10-10:40 am Taipei time) where you can chat with our experts about defending digital rights\, in Asia Pacific and beyond.  \n\n\n\n\nREGISTER\n\n\n\nAdd To Calendar\n\n\n\nwatch the livestream\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHosted by:
