What a setback this is for the digital civil society, the community, and the movement! And for those trying to bring these gatherings to the Global Majority world.

Very gutted. I have attended every Rightscon since 2016, either online or in person. This is a in-the-face reminder of the current condition. We cannot safely hold even a convening.

@rohini@mastodon.social Indeed. Got an online ticket - like previous years. I don't care at all about my ticket - but I do care about the setback that this is :flan_nooo:

@rohini@mastodon.social I hadn’t heard of Rightscon till this post but I did a little bit of reading. This is awful and I feel for you all. Setback is the right word. The explanation by Kawana of why they’re “postponing” shows the need for this very conference. Just wanted you to know that there is concern for you coming from the US.
