Is the Internet turning into a 'Filter Bubble'?
Earlier this year I read Eli Pariser's 'Filter Bubble'. In the book, Pariser argues that as a result of personalized search, Internet users are living in 'filter bubbles' seeing only viewpoints that are only similar to theirs and information that only appeals to their interests. In other words, algorithms are deciding what we may like or not like to see instead of what we should see. So, to what extent should we be concerned about personalized search? Is personalized search threatening the diversity of the Internet?

Reinforcing GV partnerships and taking a step further
Basically is to invite representatives from some of our partnerships to a panel in which they can talk about their projects, and how partnerships between media outlets, tech and activists orgs can be done and improved (for GV) around the world.

My ideal partnerships are:
Natalia Viana from ePublica (GV portuguese)
(Someone) from Rue89 (GV french)
(Someone) from Periodismo Ciudadano (GV spanish)

Harassment on the Internet
I think this would be a great time to have a conversation about finding solutions to the increasing amount of harassment on the Internet. Apart from censorship, how can we address harassment? Does the old adage "don't feed the trolls" still apply, or is time to fight back? Is this a cultural problem, or one inherent to the architecture of online spaces?

Taxing internet as threat to Open Internet
Tens of thousands of protesters have marched on 28 October against a plan by the Hungarian government to tax internet use from 2015.
The rally, the second in three days over the scheme, is also seen as a sign of growing discontent among mostly younger Hungarians over the prime minister, Viktor Orbán’s policies that critics say are centralising power and increasing the role of the state, to the detriment of private enterprise.
I think the GVO Summit could be an excellent forum to scrutinize from various angles whether or not such developments as the ones in question indicate a threat…

Citizen media and self-organization in the Venezuelan protests of 2014: threats, mistakes and lessons learned
During the first semester of 2014, protests all across the country were organised, held and documented without any support from traditional media. In the absence of free media, with a media blackout and the implementation of different forms of online and offline censorship and repression, there are some lessons to be learned about citizen media coverage, self-organization and organicity of social movements, and preparation and response to threats.

Opening to other cultures / Seeing new intercultural exchanges onlin
With all the movements and contacts taking place, and the presence of different identities online, I would like to propose a space to discuss how cultures can meet in the 2.0.
