About this Webinar
Threats to the open internet have never been greater, as nation-states impose restrictions and question the internet governance system established decades ago.
Following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, digital barricades have been erected, widening the gulf between competing digital spheres.
On the one hand, liberal democracies are divided over safeguarding the global, open internet and prioritizing digital sovereignty. But on the other, the centralized model followed by autocratic regimes challenges the open internet by reshaping international norms and standards.
The webinar will consider the following questions:
• What is the splinternet, and why does it matter?
• How have technology standards been impacted by the splinternet?
• Who are the main players vying for control of the internet?
• Who pays the cost of the splinternet?
