Critical Internet Governance: a necessary action

“Critical Internet Governance: a necessary action” is the result of the work initially presented and debated during the 2nd Symposium on Critical Internet Governance, organized by the Internet Governance Research Network (REDE) alongside the critical infrastructure lab (cil). Held on October 14, 2025, as a satellite event of the annual conference of the Association of Internet Researchers (AoIR2025) at the Museu do Amanhã in Rio de Janeiro, the symposium proposed to radically reimagine the future of Internet governance (IG) as a field of study through an anticolonial lens.
