The Internet has become an integrated part of our lives, from accessing an education, to receiving healthcare services and to conducting business. As we move forward, our dependence on the Internet and technologies will grow even further. To address this concern, more than 3,000 representatives from governments, the private sector, technical community and the civil society will gather in Paris on 12-14 November 2018 at the annual global Internet Governance Forum (IGF) to look at a range of issues and actions that can be taken to ensure an “Internet of Trust.” UN DESA video above published Oct 31, 2018.
