Understand your rights starts with measuring what's wrong

This session will discuss how:

• Measuring as a critical foundation: how developing local measurement systems helps set baselines, track digital rights changes, and validate policies.
• Indigenous Internet measurement systems provide higher resolution of Internet performance/regional Internet outages/shutdowns.
• Empowering communities through localized responses: sharing best practices and case studies on how localized open data initiatives empower communities to recognize, report, and actively resist digital manipulation and censorship.
• Data and analysis improve policies that encourage greater competition and development, as well as protect end users.
• Collaboration for amplified impact: highlighting strategies in order to maximize the impact of localized efforts.
• Identifying weaknesses can strengthen local Internet resilience and performance, reducing the impact when the Internet is distressed.
