In breve
In response to a sweeping new telecommunications law, the CryptoRally was organized as a game played out on the streets of Mexico City, whose goal is to build skills in digital security and freedom of speech.
When Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto presented the draft for the Federal Law on Telecommunications and Broadcasting, known as the Telecom Act, human rights and privacy activists were alarmed to see that the proposal would directly attack net neutrality, allowing Internet censorship and surveillance of digital communications by the government.
To combat the Telecom Act, digital rights activists organized a CryptoRally, a creative and fun learning event focused on sharing practical and effective security tools through participation in a competitive game. Participants formed teams and were given a map. Their objective was to complete technical tasks in different sites around the city center within a certain period of time.
The CryptoRally served to equip participants with effective methods for digital self-defence, in a funny way, without losing sight of the underlying political objectives. Because although lobbying and protests are necessary, they can be frustratingly ineffective in a country where political corruption, lack of accountability and media monopolies have significantly undermined the democratic process.
