Session teaser

The impact of voluntary and/or mandatory actions on the different layers of the internet, from a technical perspective and in the context of questions including jurisdiction, censorship, and enforcement.

Session description

The session will be divided into two parts:

Part 1 (50min): "Technical training" to provide the audience with information on the underlying building blocks of the Internet and the functioning of the different internet layers (ISPs, IP addressing, DNS, naming). Objective: explain the impact of online content control on the technical operations of the different internet layers and how this affects the daily use of internet; lay the foundation for an informed discussion about content control.

Part 2 (40min): Moderated open debate kick-started by "fire starters". The moderator will build the bridge from the technical part to the policy debate. A balanced selection of "fire starters" from civil society, academia, law enforcement, etc. will fuel the debate with short, concise statements that are then open to discussion.

Keywords

contentcontrol, copyright, DSM, censorship, DNS, ISP, ccTLD, EuroDIGws3

Format

After a 50 minute technical (but understandable) training on the underlying building blocks of the Internet, we will build the bridge to a 40 minute policy debate (open to everyone!) on the different aspects and views on content control initiated by "fire starters".
