Event Description
Helen Nissenbaum, PhD, New York University, professor of media, culture and communication, and computer science, director of the Information Law Institute & Matthew L. Jones, PhD, Columbia University, associate professor, history of science and technology
Are we old-fashioned or naïve to expect that some information can be kept private; is there no space for privacy in cyberspace?
The challenges to privacy in an online world are growing. The growth of the Internet has necessitated a “modernization” of surveillance and intelligence law and a new understanding of the Fourth Amendment. Technological, legal and national security antecedents have made possible mass surveillance and hacking into computers worldwide. With more and more products and services being marketed online and the creation of new data mining and identity aggregation technologies to monitor these activities, just what can be considered private these days?
Join us for a discussion with two leading experts on these issues.
Co-hosted by the Center for Science, Technology and Society of Drexel University and the Philadelphia Area Center for History of Science. This event is free and open to the public.
