This FREE EVENT will address critical issues surrounding the erosion of privacy and regulatory frameworks. The debate will focus on the following pressing questions:
- In pursuit of ever-growing presence in the spotlight, how much of our personal data are we willing to sacrifice?
- When every aspect of our lives becomes exposed, how do we safeguard against the erosion of privacy and its fundamental rights?
- When is the time to mitigate the consequences of a world where privacy is increasingly scarce?
- With collective action and regulatory frameworks being essential for safeguarding privacy rights effectively, who do we rely on?
Join us to explore the crossroads of activism, citizenship, human rights and health as intersected by technology. The debate seeks to highlight the true toll of the diminishing privacy on our freedoms and on society at large. We will delve into a critical dialogue on ethical considerations in the face of evolving technologies.
Followed by an orchestrated networking event.
