Change Makers Finally, I would just say that we're at a crossroads right now in terms of what we can and cannot achieve when it comes to Internet freedom in Africa. It’s vital to think strategically about involving youth and the next generation in this work.. People born in 2012 may not have the lived experience of revolutions, yet they are already active on platforms like TikTok and Instagram at age 12. It is our responsibility to pass on our institutional knowledge, our history and lessons from previous generations, and work together as a community in relation to one another. Things are very challenging at the moment and we have to also be kind and gracious with one another. The upcoming generation is poised to redefine our landscape. Their norms for Internet use, practices, and even their perceptions of privacy, differ markedly from ours. It's crucial that we devote more attention to and engage in dialogue with them. This is not only vital for advancing Internet freedom but also for the overall well-being of our societies. Although we may not be in the most optimistic period, it's important to remember that even in challenging times, there are opportunities to shape a brighter future. Focusing on the youth, in my view, is a wise strategy to ensure that the lessons we've learned are not forgotten but rather passed on and built upon. 48 A CIPESA Series
