Wir hatten ja bereits an verschieden Stellen auf die diesjährige „Freiheit statt Angst“ (hier der Aufruf, weitere Infos auch unter #fsa11) und unsere am Vorabend stattfindende netzpolitische Soirée “Freiheit und Überwachung in digitalen Welt“ hingewiesen. Wer sich noch nicht angemeldet hat, kann dies hier tun. Genauso haben wir Euch auf die am gleichen Tag in den Räumen der Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung stattfindende Konferenz netz:regeln, die sich in diesem rund um das Thema „Offenheit als Prinzip“ dreht, aufmerksam gemacht.
Als tatsächlich dritte an diesem Tag stattfindende Veranstaltung möchten wir Euch noch auf eine von Jan Philipp Albrecht organisierte und im Rahmen der diesjährigen grünen europäischen Sommeruniversität der Europafraktion in Frankfurt/Oder und Slubice stattfindenden Workshop hinweisen.
Jan Philipp wird mit Jérémie Zimmermann von La Quadrature du Net, Katarzyna Szymielewicz von Panoptykon Foundation, und Michael Anti (Jing Zhao) über das Recht auf Internetzugang als diskutieren.
Aus der Einladung:
The workshop will address various current issues around internet access, including the digital divide between developed and developing countries, but also within Europe; threats to cut off internet access for filesharers; increasing attempts to filter and regulate network traffic by the access providers; political censorship. We will then discuss if internet access can and should be considered a fundamental right, and look at emerging campaigns as well as case law around this.
