GNI Member Sessions – RightsCon 2018
From 16-18 May representatives from GNI’s academic, civil society, company, and investor members will join over 2,000 others from the global digital rights community for RightsCon 2018.
GNI staff are leading discussions on the nature and impacts of network disruptions and the new and increasing legislative pressures on companies to be held liable for content on their platforms, as well as a main-stage session on developments in cross-border search engine regulation (full descriptions below).
