Fwd: Surveillance, Privacy, and Human Rights - Panel Discussion



PANEL DISCUSSION

1984 Today, Tomorrow. Surveillance, Privacy and Human Rights, seen from Media and Social Sciences perspectives

THURSDAY JUN 10, 06:30 PM

Today, the concept of privacy is constantly evolving: traditional concepts are destroyed, social media being key player in that shift. Much of our lives are on the Web and our online behavior leaves trails of data that be followed and mined. Online, everything can be a click away.

A quarter century after Orwell's dystopia, Michael Freund (Der Standard), Michael Freund, Steve Lohr (The New York Times), and Zeynep Tufekci (University of Maryland) and Matthias Karmasin (University of Klagenfurt) will come together to discuss consequences, new concepts, responsibilities and ways of handling the exposure to modern technology.

VENUE: ACFNY
