Panel at FIFAfrica 2021
The panel “Digital Rights Violations and Digital Security Practices in Africa” was a session where Pollicy and Paradigm Initiative presented Digital SafeTea and Ripoti, different tools towards digital security violations. It was also a forum to talk about the unique digital security challenges groups like journalists, politicians and LGBTQIA+ people face, and the importance of accessible digital security education. Here are some of the questions that guided the conversation:
1. What are some key digital security challenges you have noticed in your line of work?
2. Why are digital security tools like Ripoti and Digital SafeTea important? What gaps are they filling?
3. What other ways do we envision digital security education can be made more accessible to everyone?
4. How can technology companies contribute to making digital security more accessible to everyone?
