  1. Postponed a full year by the pandemic, the 11th Russian Internet Governance Forum (RIGF 2021) ran 7\u20139 April 2021 in hybrid form at Moscow's Expocentre, with the public online and seven sessions over three days.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. Debates covered information security, social-media regulation, data sovereignty and AI ethics; openers included the ITU's Doreen Bogdan-Martin and former IGF MAG chair Anriette Esterhuysen, and the first Youth RIGF ran alongside.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. The forum kept international lines open through the pandemic \u2014 and shows how platform regulation and data sovereignty, live issues everywhere, were framed the 'Russian way.'<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
