Big Tech and Governments, you need to listen to us for Internet & Trust.
February 24 | 11:00-12:30 CET - Zoom
Young people use the internet, digital tools, and platforms for all areas of life. How do they reflect on Internet4Trust? What do they think about digital divides, hate speech, filter bubbles, democracy, and participation? Do they care about data, privacy issues, and data monopoly?
From the perspective of the WSA, the global evaluation, awarding, and promotion of digital solutions at the UNESCO level is helpful in understanding how to perceive problems as solutions, especially in the area of information as a public good.
On February 24, the WSA Youth delegates will share their impressions of the UNESCO conference in a Zoom event, organized by WSA in partnership with UNESCO. Sided by high level UNESCO representatives, young people from the global WSA community will reveal their thoughts, insights and reflections on the topic in general and on the Internet4Trust conference specifically.
