    \n
  1. On 26\u201329 July 2017 the 8th yIGF met at Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok: 58 participants from 14 Asia Pacific economies spent four days on the theme 'How does social media shape our minds?'<\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. A role-play spanning three days had committees on free speech, the right to be forgotten, and social-media advertising strategies scrutinise a mock Privacy Protection Bill and draft action plans \u2014 alongside the 'Data War' corporate-data simulation and a Future Initiatives session where country groups designed take-home projects.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. In the year fake news and social media's psychological pull became global concerns, the generation most affected debated them head-on; the explicit push for gender balance and inclusion of sexual minorities marked a diversity milestone for the series.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
