Challenging wartime systems of misinformation, communication monopolies & anti-democratic propaganda machines.
With the conference BEYOND CONTROL, we seek to understand what motivates, shapes and influences digital authoritarianism and online systematic oppression around the world, no matter the style of government or political configuration. Our approach is to show how we can counter digital repression through grassroots empowerment, and how we can use distributed information to make people aware of injustices and abuses of power.
