Internet Governance Forum (IGF) 2018

It’s a challenging time for the Internet.

With increasing threats to security people are wondering if the Internet is failing us.

In the face of uncertainty, the inclination is to exert control. But that doesn’t work in an environment that is by nature both decentralized and always changing.

We must not break the Internet by trying to save it.

The way to build an Internet we all trust is by working collaboratively and together.

Meetings like the Internet Governance Forum (IGF), attended by people from all over the world, is where this happens. 

IGF 2018 was hosted by the Government of France at the headquarters of UNESCO in Paris from 12 to 14 November 2018. It focused on building an “Internet of Trust.”
