Freedom of movement == Freedom of information?
The protest against borders has played an important role during the last edition of N5M. In the last 5 years activists have staged a number of highly mediatised protest actions against the contemporary border regime (anti-deportation campaigns, protest camps, etc). At the same time the enforcement of the migration management has become much more aggressive. With so many activities producing so little results it seems necessary to revaluate the strategies and tactics employed in the struggle against migration control.
Lately a number of projects have started researching and pointing out the structural similarities between the efforts to control the freedom of movement (migration management) and the freedom of information (digital rights management). That these attempts to gain control over the flow of information/persons haven't been successful so far, is not the result of organized resistance or campaigns, but must be attributed to the creative circumvention of autonomous individual actors and the organizing powers of informal economies.
