TechMeetup Stirling: Talk by Dan Shearer on how the EU has benefited developers

Free software developers, network engineers and privacy advocates have been given a gift by the EU, in the form of six strongly-enforced laws based on human rights that have computer science embedded in them. This talk covers:

• How human rights is directly linked to computer science via the legal text of these EU laws
• What new software solutions are required by these laws
• What long-standing bad internet security practices are banned according to the text of the law
• Examples of code based on long-standing open source libraries that meet the requirements of the new EU laws

There is no minimum tech knowledge needed to attend, just an interest in learning things.
