Bruce Schneier is coming to London in December and will be doing a talk for ORG. Hope to meet more of the discuss crowd at the event. ==== We live in a unique time in our technological history. The cameras are ubiquitous, but we can still see them. ID checks are everywhere, but we still know they're going on. Computers inherently generate personal data, and everyone leaves an audit trail everywhere they go. Bruce Schneier, internationally-renowned cryptographer, technologist and author, will share his vision of current and future technologies' effects on privacy. Schneier rejects the traditional "security vs. privacy" dichotomy in favor of a more subtle and realistic one. "Data is the pollution problem of the information age and we need to start thinking about how to deal with it." When? Doors open at 1830, Friday 4 December 2009 Where? St Albans Centre, 18 Brooke St, London, London EC1N 7RD (More info here) Jim Killock, Executive Director of Open Rights Group, will chair the audience Q&A. Drinks will be available at the venue before and after the talk. An audio and video recording will be made available after the event.
