Computers, Freedom, and Privacy enters 21st year at a moment of hot debateYou may also download this file. Running time: 22:17 The legendary and redoubtable Computers, Freedom, and Privacy conference takes place this year from June 14-16 in Washington, DC, just steps from the Capitol building in Washington, DC where many of the conference topics are under discussion. Yesterday I talked to Lillie Coney of the Electronic Privacy Information Center and Jules Polonetsky of the Future of Privacy Forum, cochairs of CFP this year, about what makes the conference unique and how it will illuminate the pressing issues of Twitter revolutions (or whatever role the Internet may play), surveillance and tracking, security of personal health data, and more. Conference organizers are reaching out to Congress and administration leaders, confident that high-level representatives will speak (as well as listen) this year as they have in the past. But one of the conference's strengths is to raise its eyes past the United States and look at other places in the world where online privacy is being handled better, or not as well. Many of the leaders who have made headlines in recent revolutions have been invited. Listen to the interview for more information about CFP and how you can get involved. Relevant links:
