Caught in the web: how free are we online?

Words On Monday / Index on Censorship presents…
Spoken Word / Monday, 10 June 2013 - 7:00pm / Hall One
£9.50

Cory Doctorow Activist and blogger 
James Ball The Guardian
Kirsty Hughes CEO, Index on Censorship
Paul Tweed International media lawyer
David Aaronovitch chair 

The internet: free open space, wild wild west, or totalitarian state? However you view the web, in today’s world it is bringing both opportunities and threats for free expression.

Many of us use the internet everyday, and yet our rights as 'netizens' remain largely undefined. And it’s not only states like Iran or China who are limiting internet freedom – Democratic governments also risk stepping in and over-regulating or censoring the net.

So what are the key issues, and how can we address them?

Join Index on Censorship and our panel for a discussion on who really controls our free expression online.
