Speak Up 2008: Online Privacy: Is There Any (Central Library)

By Richard Eriksson on February 13, 2008 - 12:42pm

From the Speak Up 2008 pamphlet [PDF]:

Online technologies are radically advancing our freedoms, but are they also enabling unparalleled invasions of privacy? The first topic of Speak Up 2008 will examine issues from data mining and profiling, surveillance, the use of search engines, cookies, spy ware and email to the security of public records on the internet and confidentiality of financial and medical information.

Questions for discussion include should government and business compile, share or sell your personal information? Should you expect privacy in a public forum like the internet? Who is ultimately responsible for dealing with privacy issues: the government, industry, individuals? And can these activities actually be policed? Come and share your insights and opinions.
