[Anriette Esterhuysen]

Dear all

Apologies for cross posts. Please all of you who are in Bali,  come to this!

Dear friends!

DO YOU WANT TO FEEL MORE IN CONTROL OF YOUR ONLINE COMMUNICATIONS? COME
TO THE APC TACTICAL TECH DISCO-TECH!

The security of digital networks and information is becoming
increasingly important to all internet users due to the increase in
incidences of governments and corporations spying on netizens and human
rights defenders. Journalists, democracy activists, women human rights
defenders and sexual rights activists, who use ICTs to report on, and
campaign against, human rights abuses face surveillance, censorship,
information security vulnerabilities, and information security
compromises that can be life threatening.^1 <#sdfootnote1sym>

To shed light on the practical steps that members of civil society can
take to protect themselves and their activism, APC and Tactical Tech are
hosting a peer-learning session on the night before the global IGF in
Bali, 21 October 2013.

We're calling it “the Disco-tech” because the format of the event will
be very unique. Participants can learn about technological solutions in
an inspiring and relaxed yet high-energy atmosphere.

Experts and activists will be talking about tools and experiences with
online surveillance, safety, the right to privacy and anonymity.
Participants will have the opportunity to set up stations to share
technological tools, information or discuss specific issues. A “key
signing party” and an introduction to encryption will be held in parallel.
