Chaos Communication Congress 2017
The 34th annual four-day hacker conference Chaos Communication Congress (34c3), organised by EDRi member Chaos Computer Club, took place in Leipzig, Germany on 27-30 December 2017. The congress offered lectures, workshops and other events on various topics related to information technology and its effects on the society.
For the first time, we also organised an assembly together with our friends at the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), Privacy International, epicenter.works, Digitale Gesellschaft Switzerland, Forum InformatikerInnen für Frieden und gesellschaftliche Verantwortung (FIfF), Fitug, Gesellschaft für Freiheitsrechte (GFF), Hermes Center, Vrijschrift and the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE). The existence of the Rights&Freedoms cluster reflects a commensurate build-up in momentum among the global internet freedom community. As more and more people committed to upholding civil rights online, free expression and free open software these ideals and philosophies evolve to become more wide-reaching, inclusive, and effective.
The Rights&Freedoms stage covered many different topics – from open source software over security and privacy online to mass surveillance and current European digital rights issues. In case you missed some of the interesting talks, we have compiled a list of some of the available sessions from the Rights&Freedoms Cluster for you to catch up on.
