In today's world of information overload, it is important to be able to deal with disinformation, myths and direct propaganda. Find out how the Private Institute for the Development of Public Digital Networks, is enabling Russian citizens to access uncensored information in Russia.

Oleg Basistyy, COO of IEDN's project "VPN Generator" (Private Institute for the Development of Public Digital Networks) will showcase the solution that may help millions of people bypass Russian enormous censorship effort.

The talk will explore how social interactional framework, open source solutions and deep level automation may help create a solution for millions that still goes below the radar of censors.
