How would you feel if you noticed a stranger following you to work in the morning? Then you spotted another one watching you at the gym in the afternoon, and two more as you did your groceries in the evening? What if they shared notes on your activities throughout the day with hundreds of associates? Along the way, they also gathered information about your friends, family, and coworkers. You'd probably be scared, outraged, and want the authorities to intervene, right?听

This, essentially, already happens. Only it鈥檚 devices like your phone, laptop, and smart home devices that do the tracking, all to feed a trillion-dollar industry.听听

Join 缅北强奸's Information Security team for a chat with Prof. Ignacio Cofone, Canada Research Chair in Artificial Intelligence Law and Data Governance, about his new book, The Privacy Fallacy - Harm and Power in the Information Economy. We'll be discussing topics such as:听

• Can you really consent when you don't really know what you're consenting to?听

• How is data used to discriminate against job applicants, renters, and people with health issues?听

• Are current laws effective at recognizing the value of privacy and protecting us from corporate data practices?听

听听This event will be recorded, and a Q&A period will follow the talk.听
