I will be speaking at Tackling Corporate Europe: Public debate exploring the problems created by excessive industry lobbying influence. It's hosted by Corporate Europe Observatory. Also speaking is journalist David Cronin plus two MEPs. The key question to discuss will be: how do we curb excessive influence of corporate lobbying? I will be discussing examples from my book A Copyright Masquerade: How Corporate Lobbying Threatens Online Freedoms
Iptegrity.com is the website of Dr Monica Horten. I’ve been analysing analysing digital policy since 2008. Way back then, I identified how issues around rights can influence Internet policy, and that has been a thread throughout all of my research. I hold a PhD in EU Communications Policy from the University of Westminster (2010), and a Post-graduate diploma in marketing. I’ve served as an independent expert on the Council of Europe Committee on Internet Freedoms, and was involved in a capacity building project in Moldova, Georgia, and Ukraine. I am currently (from June 2022) Policy Manager - Freedom of Expression, with the Open Rights Group. For more, see About Iptegrity
