Keynote Presentation: Privacy and Power - Why privacy is a human right? // Fireside Chat

Privacy is often dismissed as a concern that should take a backseat to “national security” and crime prevention—or downplayed as something people in the digital age freely trade away. However, privacy rights have deep historical and legal ties to equality and human dignity. In the United States, the right to privacy found in the Constitution’s Fourth Amendment began life as a free-speech protection and safeguard against political tyranny, and privacy-related concepts continue to be a means by which women, racial minorities, LGBT people, and the poor gain greater equality and resist state oppression. This talk will present the idea of privacy as equality and invite listeners to consider the role privacy plays in the causes that are most important to them.
