Recap of Past Events

At​ the end of January we co-hosted a Vancouver DWeb Social with the Internet Archive of Canada. Our speakers were Fissioneer Blaine Cook, who gave a presentation on the Fediverse, and Claire Atkins from Check My Ads, who shared her company's work on fighting disinformation in advertising.

Recordings of both presentations are now available on the Fission blog.
