That’s a wrap on #IGF2025! Thanks to everyone who stopped by our booth, chatted with us, joined the ISOC@ event, or attended one of our sessions.
We always appreciate the opportunity to connect with stakeholders around the globe and participate in such meaningful and impactful discussions about the Internet.
Collaboration done at events like the IGF is crucial to Internet governance because if we want to achieve an Internet that is truly for everyone, it must represent everyone.
As IGF completes its 20th edition, the last of its mandate, a sense of urgency arises as we approach a critical time for the World Summit on the Information Society 20-year review, which will take place later this year.
Follow along for updates from the event this week. If you're in Norway at the IGF, be sure to stop by our booth and say hello, or find us at one of the sessions: https://www.internetsociety.org/events/igf/2025/our-activities/
“The IGF has been an invaluable platform. A place to listen, to speak, to act. It has amplified voices from the Global South, often marginalised in digital governance conversations.”

Final day at the #IGF2025! This week has been full of invigorating conversations, meetings, and connections—all centered around the biggest dilemmas the Internet faces with the goal of solving them together.
As we wrap up at the IGF, we are just a few days away from the #WSIS high-level event where these conversations will continue. We look forward to the discussions we'll have over the next few weeks and the time we get to spend working closely with our community and partners.
🚨 Von der Leyen & @EUCommission use the #DMA as a poker chip against US Trump car tariffs thus tarnishing our #EU legislation
Allowing #Bigtech to influence our digital laws which shall ensure consumer + digital rights against commercial profits under the frame of #deregulation is undemocratic as it is against the interests of the 🇪🇺 people.
Call on your national governments that this is not acceptable 🔥
We love social media but we don't trust social media. And love without trust is the definition of an abusive relationship, says @mariafarrell.bsky.social at #igf2025.

listening in on #igf2025 on the session Privacy Preserving Interoperability and the Fediverse and its absolutely maddening. the speakers are literally hallucinating worse than an LLM on what the interoperability for threads actually looks like
Social Web Foundation talking about privacy and interoperability. Who do they partner with? Meta.
Nothing to see here. https://techpolicy.social/@mallory/114737793476373409
