Mass censorship and the emergence of “splinternets” challenge global digital communications. Such internet fragmentations have economic, political, and humanitarian consequences. Current solutions for bypassing network filtering may not stand up to the challenges presented by censorship-in-depth and isolated networks. Wireless communications, decentralized networking and self-hosted solutions are necessary for internet resilience. Join us at SplinterCon, the first conference dedicated to identifying and beginning to challenge connectivity restrictions of the splinternet.
