Phil Lynch at the Internet Freedom Forum
Internet Freedom Forum at the U.S. Mission: The Internet Freedom Fellows program brings human rights activists from across the globe to Geneva and Washington, D.C. to meet with fellow activists, U.S. and international government leaders, and members of civil society and the private sector engaged in technology and human rights.
