by gus 20 Jul '19

20 Jul '19

Coconet is a platform for digital rights movement building in Southeast Asia. Applications close August 11, 2019, 11.59pm (GMT +8). https://coconet.social/apply/ From October 20-26, 2019, Coconet II will bring together 120 people from across Asia: * film-makers * researchers * journalists * human rights advocates * technologists * lawyers * academics The camp will break down silos, catalyse regional networking and collaboration, develop skills, deepen relationships, spark campaigns, and bring new actors into the digital rights field. How the camp works Coconet II will bring together 120 people over six days in the Philippines. The camp will be hosted outside the city and close to nature, to bring people into a more relaxed and creative frame, better catalysing the relationships needed to develop collaborations and networks. The camp uses participatory methodologies to generate ownership over the process, content, and outcomes, encouraging everyone to take responsibility for the event’s success. More than 100 workshops were hosted at Coconet I, almost all run by participants themselves. Coconet prioritises socialising as much as it does knowledge development as such there are a myriad of creative activities, film-screenings, hacklabs, performances, and parties. These create the relationships and enthusiasm that propel our work into the future.

Topics on Internet Censorship and Surveillance (TICS) #2: Call for Papers

* Topics on Internet Censorship and Surveillance (TICS) #2: Call for Papers * Online version: https://tics.site/cfp/ The 2nd TICS will focus on AI-assisted information controls. Collocated with the 18th IEEE/WIC/ACM International Conference on Web Intelligence (https://webintelligence2019.com), October 14, 2019, Thessaloniki, Greece. Abstract The ever-increasing demand for online content moderation and user profiling sees the adaptation of web intelligence concepts that were developed in good faith, into a censorship and surveillance apparatus owned by corporations and national agencies. Consequently, users are bound to an Orwellian Internet where mainstream platforms such as search engines, social media, and content providers place the blame for filter bubbles and extensive user behavioral analysis on artificial intelligence. This is alarming, since it is particularly difficult to distinguish between AI bias and deliberate human intervention. TICS aims to explore the technological, socio-economic, and legal means and driving forces behind these issues, and to propose alternative directions for building a semantic and human-centric web that promotes empowerment of individuals to decide on how their identities are or are not constructed and aggregated online. Topics The goal of TICS is to raise awareness around the implications of network interference, by inviting researchers from complementary disciplines to consider the effect of their own domain on online censorship and surveillance. Along those lines, we invite submissions that address the following topics: - Research on technologies and policies that build upon advancements on the field of web intelligence to imply blocking, limitation or distortion of the availability of network services and online content - The application of web intelligence concepts such as behavioral modeling, data mining, and social network analytics to target groups and individuals by law enforcement agencies and private corporations - The implications of algorithmic and AI-assisted user content classification (such as for identification of hatespeech, copyright, or disinformation) - Novel techniques that leverage web intelligence to defend netizens against censorship and surveillance, or privacy enhancements to the existing AI infrastructure to mitigate these threats - Measurement methodologies that detect network interference or content moderation based on crowd knowledge or web analytics - The socio-economic consequences and implementation limitations and fallacies of upload filters and recommendation systems - Business models and amendments to legal frameworks which promote the use of web intelligence in ways that build a pluralistic, private, and human-centric experience without violating user freedoms * Important dates * Paper Submission due: July 19th, 2019 July 10th, 2019 Notification to authors: Aug 15th, 2019 Final, camera ready papers, due: Aug 25th, 2019 Workshop date: Oct 14th, 2019 * Paper Submission * Paper Submission Page: https://wi-lab.com/cyberchair/2019/wi19/scripts/submit.php?subarea=S04&undi… Submitted papers should be limited to a maximum of 8 pages in the standard ACM 2-column format.
