[Briefing #77] Internet governance in July and August 2021
After a short summer break, we are back for the Digital Watch Internet Governance Briefing on Tuesday, 31st August, at 12.00 UTC (14.00 CEST).
Catch up on the major internet governance and digital policy updates from all around the globe and join our experts as they analyse the existing and emerging policy trends.
Among the topics we will cover this month:
- Taliban and social media: Tough call for social media companies. If they silence the Taliban, they're shutting off Afghans altogether; if they don't, the Taliban will continue to use digital means to exert influence
- Apple's new child safety measures haven't gone down too well with human rights activists
- Cyberattacks and data breaches continue
- New privacy laws emerge
