This past December in Guadalajara, the annual meeting of the Internet
Global Forum IGF was held. The issues of Internet rights and privacy, and
the effects of information technology and the internet were debated and
discussed. The election of President Trump has  escalated fears of attacks
on democratic communication rights while the privatization of the internet
grows. This forum, featuring attendees at the recent IGF meeting, will look
at the issue of protection of communication rights and privacy. It will
look at how the information technology is affecting workers, as well as
private sector control of the Internet through projects such as the
Facebook led-partnership Internet.org.
