Niels ten Oever has designed and implemented large freedom of expression projects in the Horn of Africa, the Middle East and Northern Africa and Afghanistan. Niels started off working on radio when he got bitten by the Linux bug. After that he increasingly worked on websites, apps, internet governance, digital rights and digital security. Why? Because technology can support democratic processes by improving freedom of expression, access to information and organizing. Peer-to-peer is far more interesting than one-to-many.
