Who do encryption technologies protect, why are these technologies under threat, and what does an internet with human rights and secure communication at its core look like? At the fourth annual Future of Speech Online Event Series, we will explore key technical concepts in the encryption policy debates, the encrypted communications tools that underpin social movements and the work of journalists, and possible approaches to moderating content in end-to-end encrypted systems.
We will also discuss the implications of restrictive national anti-encryption laws for the open, global internet, and the myriad protections that secure communications technologies provide. This year, the event will be entirely virtual in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
Each day the week of December 7, we will host a session on a different topic from 11:00 am-12:00 pm ET.
Registrants are invited to attend one session, several, or all.
A full agenda, as well as registration and sponsor information, is available here. Information about speakers will be updated soon. We hope to see you there!
