For this episode, Jillian York and Konstantinos Komaitis talk with Thomas Lohninger, the Executive Director of the digital rights NGO, epicenter.works based in Vienna, Austria.

Focusing both on European and international Internet policy, we talk about the highly controversial "fair share" debate, about the nexus between privacy and encryption, digital identity as well as the cybercrime convention.

S03E02: Thomas Lohninger 

There is something profoundly human about the Internet, its infrastructure. The ability of people to join without permission and innovate, the ability of actors to act independently, yet obey to certain standards and the ability to provide the services that allow people to communicate - are all features of a very human technology. At the same time, beyond this heavy machinery, humans feed the Internet constantly with data that affects their lives and those of others. While we talk about issues of speech in the Internet, we rarely pose to consider the impact speech suppression has on humans.
