Description

Right now in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, delegates are gathered from all over the world for the 20th United Nations’ Internet Governance Forum.


The aim of the five day event is to inspire “a global commitment to responsible digital governance and [foster] a future where digital technologies serve the entire global community equitably and sustainably”


But with people currently serving up to 45 years in prison in the host country for expressing dissent online, some civil society groups have decided to boycott the Forum altogether.


Is this the line in the sand for big tech and humanity?
