Publicity In The Virtual World<br /><br />Film Base, Curved Street, Temple Bar, Dublin<br /><br />Friday 27 June 2008<br />10 - 11.30 am<br /><br />For a new generation of 'digital natives' privacy is no longer a requirement. Web 2.0 has brought with it a transformation in how we view the need for privacy and engage with the public realm - but at what cost? The discussion will be prefaced by a keynote address from <a href="http://docs.law.gwu.edu/facweb/dsolove/">Daniel J. Solove</a>, Associate Professor of law at the George Washington University Law School, and author of <em>The Digital Person: Technology and Privacy In the Information Age</em>. Chaired by Irish Times writer <a href="http://www.techno-culture.com/">Karlin Lillington</a>, the panel will also feature Irish blogging guru <a href="http://www.mulley.net/">Damien Mulley</a> and solicitor/digital rights expert Caroline Campbell.<br /><br />Issues to be considered include:<br />* Can bloggers say what they like?<br />* What's wrong with having nothing to hide?<br />* Who is really stalking you on Facebook? .. Does anyone care anymore?<br />* Is there a generation gap in approaches to online privacy?<br /><br /><a href="http://www.darklight.ie/pages/Programme270608.htm">www.darklight.ie/pages/Programme270608.htm</a>
