Social Science Track at IDSF 2025

We held our Social Science Track at the IDSF 2025

Over the course of the day, we explored some of the most pressing societal dimensions of digital security — from platform power to policy, public discourse, and the politics of truth.

  • Community-Led Digital Sovereignty: Insights and Lessons from an Indigenous Initiative in Remote Canada (Keynote)

  • Digital Sovereignty or Digital Illusion? Power, Governance, and the Politics of Controlling Big Tech

  • Democratization and Policy Recommendations in the Fields of Data Transparency and State Autonomy

  • Forces of Change in Media Discourses

  • And closed with a powerful discussion on Propaganda, Disinformation, and Digital Security

We ow huge thanks to the IDSF organizers for giving space to these crucial conversations and all panellists for their insights. Digital security is not just a technical issue — it’s deeply social and political. Let’s keep the conversation going. Lastly, we want to express our sincere gratitude to our fantastic team. It would not have been possible without you!

Thank you all for making the Social Science Track a memorable and impactful experience. We look forward to continuing these important conversations and collaborating with you in the future.
