We were honoured to be part of the panel discussion on Privacy and Protection in the Digital World at the @USEmbassyUganda, where we explored the growing challenges around data privacy, AI, digital literacy, online safety, and the balance between protection and freedom in digital spaces.
As technology continues to shape how we live, work, and connect, conversations around privacy, digital rights, and responsible technology have never been more important.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to such an important and timely discussion.
