Day 4 | Freedoms not Fears | Campaign spotlight: Take Back the Tech! Philippines

Take Back the Tech! PhilippinesNica and Jothi from the Foundation for Media Alternatives shares their story about the struggle for legal redress for technology-related violence against women in the Philippines. Without the full recognition of women’s human rights, the path to recognition can sometimes act to cripple instead of empower.

Day 15 | Be Safe | Make it portable

Many of us share computers, whether at cybercafes, work, school, or home. This means we are usually using the same programmes, storing our data and leaving traces of our activity on computers that others use as well. Use portable applications and take your information and programmes with you when you leave your computer.

Many of us share computers, whether at cybercafes, work, school, or home. This means we are usually using the same programmes, storing our data and leaving traces of our activity on computers that others use as well.  Depending on our circumstances - our countries and the laws that govern them, limitations that are imposed on our right to privacy, or if we live in a situation of violence - our computer and internet use can put us at risk. 

Day 13 | Be safe | Social networking & privacy

Social networking has become a defining feature of the internet for many of us today. But what happens when trust is compromised, privacy violated and abuse happens? Take back the tech! Exercise your right to privacy, take it offline & play! 

Social networking has become a defining feature of the internet for many of us today. We find information and catch up on the latest news through what our contacts post on Twitter or Facebook. We build our trust based what other people say through their comments, links, reviews and opinions, rather than what is officially produced by institutions such as the media, private corporations or the government.
