The Only Digital Rights Unconference In
West Asia and North Africa
Bread&Net 2025
A year has passed since Bread&Net 2025. The questions raised in those sessions: who controls digital infrastructure, who bears the cost of platform decisions, and what accountability actually looks like in contexts of war, growing authoritarianism and repression, have only grown more pressing.
Across two days, 620 people from 39 countries worked through those questions together: in sessions on AI and surveillance, platform accountability, legal strategies, digital sovereignty, and more.
In 2025, we welcomed new people into the digital rights movement, and left with a clearer sense of where to push.
