What will happen in your session?
Nowadays people are more aware about privacy and security online, but we can go further! This session we will discuss, learn and find ways to improve our digital privacy and security.
In the first part, a short lecture about what you can do to secure your personal data. After that, participants will break off into small groups (3-5) to discuss and analyze their threatening model and the potencial of the adversaries, and try to answer: "What can I do?". After this, all groups will compare and debate yours conclusions, comments, expectations, worries, etc. During this exchange of knowledge, will be introduced the Data Detox and some tools to improve our privacy.
What is the goal or outcome of your session?
We live in world of huge mass surveillance, data collection and sell and many digital abuses. Usually the privacy is violated because no one warned that this could happen, what is at stack, what kind of trade-off you are subjected when agree with terms and conditions that are too long and too technical, your password is way too weak, that Google is not your friend, or even the cute photo you posted on Instagram has metadata that is a gold mine for those who monitor all of our online steps. These are the reasons of this session, in other words, the goal is to awareness, empower and take back the control of our data!
