Freedom of expression and assembly online
While the internet is creating new opportunities for freedom of expression and assembly as more and more people are using it to find information and to share their views on a variety of platforms including the social media, there are disturbing trends of increased governmental interference, in particular in the East and in the South. They pose new challenges to freedom of expression and assembly online. The Council of Europe is one of the main organizations, which have taken on this challenge. It has recently elaborated also a guide on human rights for internet users, which should make them more aware of their rights and existing remedies, also with regard to the social media.
This cluster takes off with a solid introduction into the matter by three academics who all have published recent books on the matter. It then gives the floor to practitioners from the media and the Council of Europe before representatives from Google and Facebook will give their side of the story. In addition, participants will discuss major issues in multi-stakeholder workshops.
Among the questions to be discussed are:
What are the main challenges to freedom of expression and assembly in the information society today?
Where do journalists see the main threats, but also opportunities to freedom of expression online?
How is the Council of Europe contributing do protecting freedom of expression and assembly online?
Which rights do users have in the social networks and how can they make best use of them?
