Hackers Congress Paralelní Polis (HCPP) is the flagship event of Paralelní Polis, which since 2014 has been regularly attended by over 500 fans and IT experts from all over the world.
Paralelní Polis is a one-of-a-kind nonprofit organization that brings together art, social sciences, and modern technologies. The ideas of liberty, independence, innovative thinking, and development of society are the main underlying foundations the whole project is built upon.
The project intends to remain state free as it operates entirely without support from the government. Most of the funds come from voluntary contributions of donors and commercial activities such as running a coworking space and the world’s 1st bitcoin-only cafe.
HCPP 2022 Manifesto — Last Shot
They took a shot at privacy, building surveillance systems.
They took a shot at encryption, saying surveillance cannot work if we don’t give them keys.
They took a shot at anonymity, with face recognition, profiling, social credit scores.
We were hiding in a masked crowd.
They took a shot at financial communication, counterfeiting units of money and taking the wealth of the society for themselves.
They enlisted their friendly corporations to supply them with the bullets of control and oppression.
Who will fire the last shot?
And will we then – finally – disappear?
