Save the Web. Save the World.

1. Right now, you are using one of
humankind’s crowning
engineering achievements.

2. The Internet.

3. You have tremendous access to
information from around the globe.

4. You can read this webpage.

5. You can read any webpage out of
millions of others.

6. You could create your own webpage,

7. without any one else knowing or
interfering.

8. But…

9. What if authoritarian governments
could stop you?

10. What about democratic ones?

11. For profit companies?

12. Vigilantes?!

13. When we log onto the Internet most of
us take for granted the right we have to
write and say whatever we want.

14. However, from bulk surveillance to
Network Neutrality to DDoS-as-
censorship, bloggers, activists,
journalists, free thinkers, and everyday
web surfers around the world are
being censored and taken offline just
because the guy with the bigger stick
doesn’t agree with their point-of-view.

15. The Internet was built for all of us, not
just the powerful, but like with any
resource people will try to take
advantage of it for their own gain.

16. If you use the internet or care about
people who do,

17. this panel will show how to protect the
most important basic human rights
online, how to expand and preserve
those rights, and how to get involved.
