The construction of today’s world cannot be understood without the internet. Fake news, massive data processing, cyber espionage, the modification of electoral processes or the situations of Assange or Snowden are just some examples of how power relations are built today. In this context, the need to know new forms of action and action that allow shaping counterpower dynamics arise, as well as tools and mechanisms that help protect and exercise rights in the digital plane.
