Is surveillance gendered and therefore are the consequences of tech surveillance gendered too? These are a few critical questions that were in focus during the ‘Imagine a Feminist Internet’ conference held on 29 and 30 Nov 2016 in Mumbai, India. This two day conference was organized by a Mumbai based non-profit organization, Point of View, along with EROTICS and the Internet Democracy Project.The discussions during the conference drew on the Feminist Principles of the Internet (http://feministinternet.net/).
