About the session:
Big tech platforms dominate our online lives, shaping information flows, amplifying misinformation, and sometimes enabling state censorship. While calls for stronger accountability grow louder, they often come with risks of overregulation and shrinking civic space.
This session introduces platform diversity as a strategy to build resilience and accountability in the digital ecosystem. By supporting alternative platforms and empowering user action, we can push back against monopolistic control and create digital spaces that reflect diverse cultures, values, and communities.
Panelists will explore how civil society can safeguard alternatives, influence platform governance, and envision a more inclusive internet.
Join us to discuss how diverse, user-centered platforms can strengthen digital rights, resist censorship, and counter the harms of concentrated power.
