Wikimania will be partnering with the Digital Humanities Network (RedHD) a regional group of researchers and practitioners, to present an international track of talks and panels by multidisciplinary experts that will cover such subjects as human knowledge, its production, and the technology in the digital world: where do we stand, in terms of philosophy, anthropology, sociology, and their related fields?

  Wikipedia Five Pillars Panel
  By RedHD members

In this panel we want to show a panorama about the exercise of the rights and freedoms of internet on the region and the challenges to face: the right to access of information and freedom of expression versus the so-called "right to be forgotten" (privacy and data protection); national and public security versus surveillance and spying and net neutrality versus content discrimination.
