[kictanet] Event: The role of tech companies in the protection of Human Rights

[Moses Karanja]

Thank you for organizing such a timely conversation.

It will be 3am in Toronto and I do not have a basement or attic to use
at such an ungodly hour :)

I hope next time I can make it, and wishing you all the best.
