The global digital rights conference RightsCon, organized annually by the organization Access Now since 2011, has become the world’s largest and most influential forum dedicated to digital rights. In February 2025, RightsCon selected Taipei as its first-ever host city in East Asia—an event that signifies the international community’s growing attention to, and recognition of Taiwan’s role in digital democracy and human rights. This article presents the observations of a practitioner from a Taiwanese digital rights advocacy organization and seeks to examine Taiwan’s position and role within this international dialogue. The article is divided into three parts: first, it examines how RightsCon was designed to prioritize participant privacy and inclusive engagement; second, it presents the key digital rights issues emphasized by both the conference organizers and the Taiwanese government; and finally, it focuses on the advocacy efforts of Taiwanese civil society at the conference, analyzing the convergences and tensions between civil society and government narratives, while identifying the most pressing issues for advancing digital rights in Taiwan. |
