Nearly 750 tweets bombard the web every second. Internet traffic is growing by 40 per cent a year. People post 2.5 billion photos on Facebook every month. Every minute, 24 hours of video is uploaded on YouTube. But who owns all that data? Until now, big business was in complete control and used the data to monetise operations. But all that is set to change. With Facebook launching two new features, ‘Groups' and a ‘Download your information,' the community is making a comeback.

In late August, this year, the world shook for many when they went online (on their computers, PDAs, iPads, laptops) and realised that the comfortable zone of talking, chatting, sharing and doing just about everything else, had suddenly, without a warning, changed overnight (or afternoon, or morning, depending upon the time-zone they lived in). With a single change in its privacy and location settings, Facebook, home to billions of internet hours consisting of relationships, friendships, professional networks, social gaming, entertainment trivia, memories and exchanges, allowed its users to geo-tag themselves when on-the-move.

As UNESCO organized Freedom of Expression related workshops, this Open Forum will be
dedicated to other key IGF topics, notably multilingualism in cyberspace, open access to
scientific information, open educational resources, and accessibility for marginalized groups.
In addition, UNESCO will take this opportunity to announce new initiatives and share
experiences with participants. The interactive panel format will start with brief presentations from experts, followed by a moderated discussion with participants.
