The Right to Privacy - Philosophy Talk

Is privacy a fundamental human right?
Should privacy ever be sacrificed for security?
How does surveillance change how we behave?
Is privacy necessary for democracy?

This time we will be discussing the right to privacy in the relative privacy of an upstairs room of a North London pub! No walk this time (due to a broken toe)! Instead we will head indoors and experiment with a different format - a talk and discussion session. Meet at 2pm at the Star of Kings pub in King's Cross, upstairs in the green room.

Reference material to follow in the comments below.

There will be a short presentation then group discussions. This group encourages friendly, constructive conversations rather than confrontational debates; so give everyone space to talk, be respectful and actively listen to others. It's not about 'winning' a debate but about expressing your opinion and learning about other people's views.

Admission £5, if you are a student, unemployed or retired then you can attend for free. You can pay in cash or card on the walk or online with this link:
