In the past few years we’ve seen a massive proliferation of aggressive techniques states are employing to silence dissent and access to information, such as the proliferation of different DPI techniques to identify and block traffic, temporary Internet slowdown measures during political strife, and an increasing number of network-enabled spyware campaigns being launched against activists by powerful actors. Let's review the proliferation of network censorship in countries around the world in the past two years, and talk about the areas where we can continue to push back, including current battles being fought to fix Internet privacy leaks.
