The main focus this year will be on the topic of “Internet and the State”.

More and more, the state penetrates its tight control into the Internet space. Suggestions for regulating the Web are getting tougher, more absurd, and more and more frequent. Laws on blocking, “Spring Package”, anti-piracy measures and many others, which are already actively enforcing and at the same time, new repressive and regressive legislation is being passed, which are passing through the State Duma at an accelerated pace, among them: strict regulation of anonymization tools , tunneling traffic and search engines, blocking the "mirrors" of prohibited sites, forcing instant messengers to transfer user data to mobile network operators.



What is it? The real concern of the state about the citizens? Protection of information sovereignty? Or an attempt to gain control over free virtual space? What is the response of the society and the Internet industry to such aggressive intervention in our communications? How can a digital economy develop against such a background of regulation?



We will talk about this (but not only) at this conference.
