Authoritarian regimes increasingly leverage technology to suppress dissent, control narratives, and surveil populations. This panel will examine how media and tech industries can respond to these growing challenges. Experts will explore tools and strategies to counter digital authoritarianism, share examples of resistance, and highlight opportunities for collaboration.
