Reminder: #RightsCon is sponsored by some of the worst abusers of human rights in the world, including companies that participate in surveillance and decision-making for active military campaigns. They have be sponsored like this for years, and have not changed.

Participants might consider alternatives this year, or condition their presentation on some improvement in the sponsorship situation.
