As authoritarian regimes globally expand digital control through AI-powered surveillance, censorship algorithms, and language policing, free expression faces coordinated attacks. These systems now share tools of repression across borders. In response, youth resist in whispers—through creativity and digital dexterity, they craft encrypted defiance. This panel explores how coded memes, slang, guerrilla art, and diaspora networks fuel encrypted defiance, reshaping protest through cracks in the digital firewall—online and on the ground.This session is organized by the Human Rights Foundation.
