Freedom Fighter: Liberty in the Digital Age
Friday June 13, 2025 5:30pm - 5:50pm PDT
Main Stage - Oasis 3&4
Ross Ulbricht, the creator of the Silk Road, became a symbol of the fight for digital freedom, privacy, and the limits of government power. In this compelling talk, Ross shares his journey from a visionary young entrepreneur to a man unjustly imprisoned for his role in creating a platform that championed free markets and individual autonomy. With a deep commitment to liberty, Ross’s story sheds light on the dangers of overreach and the importance of protecting personal freedoms in an increasingly connected world. This session will explore the broader implications of his case, the ongoing fight for criminal justice reform, and how we can continue to challenge oppressive systems in the digital age. A true freedom fighter, Ross’s story is one of resilience, hope, and an unwavering belief in the power of liberty.
