The second introductory webinar in the framework of a youth internet governance workshop was held on March 28. Its facilitators – coordinators of the Club for Internet and Society Enthusiasts Polina Kolozaridi and Leonid Yuldashev – started the webinar by analyzing the answers to the questionnaire that participants filled out after the first webinar. The questionnaire asked young people about their understanding of internet governance, their interest in this subject and any related concerns.
The webinar continued as a discussion on numerous technical and social issues. The participants and speakers discussed what the internet is all about in technical and infrastructural terms, why the internet is coming under more regulation, what users, corporations and the state think of each other, and how their concepts of internet regulation differ.
