Digital Privacy: A Fundamental Human Right?

Details

🌟 Hey there! Join Us for Our Online Café! ☕️

Have you ever thought deeply about privacy 🤔, where it comes from, and what it really means for us? Whether you realize it or not, privacy is involved in almost every aspect of our lives!
In a world where technology is changing faster than we can keep up, the topic of digital privacy is super important! 🌐 As we scroll through social media and share our lives online, let’s chat about what privacy really means for us and our society.
We’ll dive into the good, the bad, and the downright tricky aspects of technology and privacy. Sure, tech can help us connect and communicate, but it also brings some serious challenges like data breaches and surveillance. 😱 We want to hear your thoughts, stories, and ideas as we explore this fascinating topic together! 💬✨

### Questions for Discussion:

1. What emerging tech trend do you believe could significantly impact our privacy—either positively or negatively? Why do you think so? 🤖🔍

2. Consumer Privacy: Is it ethical to assign a monetary value to our fundamental right to privacy? 💰🔒

3. Legality: How supportive is the current legal framework of our right to privacy? ⚖️🤔

4. In what ways does the erosion of digital privacy pose risks to democratic processes and institutions? 🗳️🚨

5. What factors should we consider when distinguishing between 'private' and 'public' wrongdoing, and how can we effectively balance accountability with the right to privacy? ⚖️🤝

We can’t wait to hear your thoughts and have a lively discussion! 🎉💬 Grab your favorite drink ☕️🥤, get comfy, and let’s chat!

ONLINE MEETING INSTRUCTIONS

To join the meeting, click on the event's meeting URL.
Our online meetings use the Zoom video conference service. You do not need a Zoom account and do not have to provide Zoom with an email address. It is required that you join the meeting using BOTH audio and video. For the audio portion, you will have the option to either use your computer for audio (e.g., built-in microphone or an attached headset) or to call into the telephone number provided.

If you will be using a computer or device on which you have not previously installed or used Zoom, please start the process at least fifteen minutes before the meeting’s scheduled start time, as the first time involves downloading and installing the Zoom meeting client software. This will avoid delay for others.
If you wish, you can download the Zoom meeting client at any time (you don’t need the meeting password) at this link:
https://zoom.us/download.
