I refuse to accept a censored Internet. Join Me at FOSDEM 27
A manager of the Digital Dissident Devroom at FOSDEM 27 is calling for developers and activists to collaborate on creating secure, censorship-resistant tools. The initiative aims to address the 'weakest link' problem by focusing on the entire chain of privacy and anonymity software used by people in authoritarian regimes.
Why it matters
As digital surveillance increases globally, the development of interoperable, secure communication tools is critical for protecting human rights and freedom of information.
As one of the managers of the Digital Dissident Devroom , I invite you to be part of a conversation we cannot afford to ignore.
Around the world, people are being silenced, monitored, and denied access to information. Free software can help change that, but only if we build it together. We need tools people can trust and control to communicate safely, expose the truth, and resist censorship.
This devroom brings together developers, researchers, activists, and everyone committed to digital freedom. We want real solutions, honest lessons, and collaboration across projects, not product pitches.
If you believe technology should serve people, not control them, join us. Bring your ideas, experience, and questions. Let’s build the tools that help keep freedom alive.
