On the last Tuesday of every month, the Geneva Internet Platform (GIP) Digital Watch Internet governance briefings provide a ‘zoomed-out’ update of the major global IG and digital policy developments. Today, Sunday April 8 2018 at Noon EDT (16:00 UTC) the Internet Society Livestream Channel will present an edited version of last months update. March was packed with new developments. The Cambridge Analytica’s scandal placed Facebook’s practices under intense scrutiny, raising questions on the responsibility of the Internet industry. The European Commission presented proposals for digital tax reform, while authorities in the USA are investigating a fatal accident involving a self-driving car, as new investment and milestones in artificial intelligence are recorded around the world. What were the main Internet governance updates in March, and how will they shape future developments? What can we expect in April?
