What will happen in your session?

This will be a stand/drop in session - with participants welcome to come by at any point. We are researchers collaborating on two projects - Digital Wildfire and UnBias - that each seek to promote safety and fairness on the internet. Our stand/drop in session will include displays, information materials and opportunities to talk to members of the project team. Participants will have the opportunity to: consider, reflect and vote on key challenges around appropriate communication on the internet - e.g. fake news, online harassment, harmful content spreading, upholding freedom of speech; look at at visual artefacts; talk to members of the project teams; present their own thoughts; receive information about the projects and about internet safety.

What is the goal or outcome of your session?

The aims of the stand/drop in session are:

• to encourage participant awareness of contemporary challenges and controversies around internet use, in particular the capacity for harmful content to spread rapidly across social media and the potential for algorithmic processes on internet platforms to have negative consequences
• to encourage participants to reflect on their own responses to these controversies and challenges
• to encourage participants to reflect on different ways in which we can all 'take care on the internet' - for instance via self-governance, legal mechanisms, platform governance etc. - and what we can do to promote safety and fairness online.
• to provide information about the Digital Wildfire and UnBias projects

If your session requires additional materials or electronic equipment, please outline your needs.

We would like to have a projector (possibly more than 1) and office supplies.

We will also bring our own laptops, video camera, visual displays etc.

Time needed

All weekend, as an installation, exhibit or drop-in session

Hi Helena, my name is Kasia and I work on Mozilla’s Internet Health Report. At Mozfest we will be present with an “Internet Research Hub” #618 (last comment) - an easy-going, cozy space for discussions and networking both with us about Internet Health and among researchers themselves.

We also invite anyone who does work in an Internet research field to sign up and present their work at a couple of open display tables we will have in the hub. If you would like to present something in the Hub in addition to your official session, let me know! We will promote these sessions throughout the festival. You can sign up spontaneously with pen and paper on site or if you would like to save a spot beforehand, drop me an email at kasia@mozillafoundation.org with a short description of the session.

In any case, I would like to invite you to pass by the hub and say hi. We will start with an informal "Research and coffee grinder” get-together at the beginning of the festival where people can get to know each other. Space and exact schedule for the Hub are still being decided and I will update you once we know the details. Hope to see you there!
