We had a spirited discussion that covered the cultural, political and technological issues that affect online privacy. We co-sponsored a Take Back Your Internet Privacy Panel and Party with Giganews and Golden Frog on March 9th in Austin, Texas during SXSW. The event honored the global fight for online privacy and an uncensored Internet for all.
A big thank you to everyone that attended. We had a full house of people who clearly cared about these issues and engaged with the panelists making for an invigorating and lively debate.
The expert panel:
- Kevin Bankston – Policy Director, New America Foundation’s Open Technology Institute
- Evan Greer – Campaign Manager, Fight for the Future
- Representative Bryan Hughes – Texas House of Representatives, District 5
- Ali Sternburg – Public Policy Counsel at CCIA
- Ron Yokubaitis – Co-founder and Co-CEO of Golden Frog, Giganews, Data Foundry and Texas.net
The panel was moderated by Stacey Higginbotham, senior writer at GigaOm.
In addition to the people in the room, we had viewers from around the world who watched the panel LIVE on the Golden Frog website and sent questions via Twitter. We also want to thank our diverse panel of experts for a truly informative and rousing discussion.
