Consolidated programme 2023 overview / Main Topic 1
Impact of the war
These sessions focus on the influence of the war in Ukraine - now in its second year - on the Internet, and the roles of the Internet in this war. Ukraine has shown remarkable resilience against attacks to destroy its infrastructure, as well as attempts to break its morale by disinformation and hate speech. This war has also raised the fundamental question of how long and to what extent the core of the Internet can remain neutral ground in a world of worsening geopolitical crisis?
