9:30 AM JW Marriott: Salon 8 Surveillance Photography: Personal, Public, Profit Surveillance photography is an instrument to watch, document, record, and encroach on essential freedoms and simultaneously it provides accurate data to influence pos- itive community development. The panel featuring an educator, critic, and industry professionals will address what we should and should not fear, share and be aware of, and who owns, controls, or profits from our visual information. David Fine, Katrin Eismann, Oskar Kalmaru, Stephen Mayes Panel // Advanced // #FotoSecret 11:00 AM JW Marriott: Room 404 Is Privacy a Human Right? Should the right to own one's data be the 28th amendment? As the next billion global citizens log on to participate in the online economy, we need to ask: is privacy a fun- damental human right, or a luxury for those who can afford it? With Europe passing the "right to be forgotten," privacy is a truly global issue. This presentation will explore the intersection of privacy, policy and technology. David Gorodyansky Core Conversation // Intermediate // #MyRights 11:00 AM JW Marriott: Salon 4 The Changing Privacy Landscape The notion of privacy is rapidly changing as people work to define boundaries in their increasingly digital lives. The Pew Research Center's Internet Project and the Center for Democracy and Technology will help attendees better understand what citizens and consumers expect from companies and governments when it comes to personal data. Lee Rainie, Nuala O'Connor Dual // Advanced // #DigPrivacy 11:00 AM JW Marriott: Salon 7 Is Using Your Users OK? Debating User Monetization We're in a gold rush for user data. Users trade their data away willingly, but is a back- lash brewing? What should the default relationship between users and services be around data? Brands and services stockpile user data on the promise of better da- ta-driven monetization strategies, or to sell access to that data. But is it right? Are there alternatives? Let's discuss the options and ethics. Brad Cohen, Reggie Wideman, Sofie Pompa, Tyler Willis Panel // Intermediate // #users 12:30 PM JW Marriott: Room 404 Rumors During War Time During the last war in Gaza, WhatsApp became a major tool for spreading rumors in Israel and throughout the Middle East. An old Hebrew expression evokes "Major Shmuati" as an army figure who spreads rumors. In 2014 Major Shmuati was promoted and rumors started spreading via the app at lightning speed. This phenomenon obvi- ously raises questions of social responsibility and public morale during war. Lior Kodner Core Conversation // Advanced // #whatswar 12:30 PM JW Marriott: Salon 7 Dumb App Design: Yo and the Magic Of Minimalism What's the difference between simple and stupid when it comes to mobile app design? How do you know what features to keep and which to scrap? "Yo" founder Or Arbel will discuss how anyone can make an app that's lean and lovable. Look at how lightweight apps can avoid getting boring so they can become real businesses. Joshua S Constine, Or Arbel Dual // Intermediate // #MiniAppism 12:30 PM JW Marriott: Salon 8 Surveillance, Trust & Ethics: Restoring the Faith The Snowden files revealed the extent of surveillance programmers undertaken by the NSA and GCHQ in a digital world where we increasingly spend more and more of our lives online. This session will explore the extent to which that balance has tipped in favor of governments in the US and EU, and whether there is a way to restore balance and trust. Emily Bell, Jemima Kiss, Michael P Lynch, Stewart Baker Panel // Beginner // #GovTrust 3:30 PM JW Marriott: Room 404 Digital Afterlife: 6 Feet Under and 6 Years Later In 2009, Evan Carroll and John Romano brought SXSW a first conversation about the digital afterlife. What once was an emerging field is no longer. It's time to rethink how we deal with death in the digital age. Join Evan Carroll, co-founder of The Digital Be- yond and co-author of Your Digital Afterlife, for a fascinating journey through the past, present and future of the digital afterlife. Evan Carroll Core Conversation // Advanced // #afterlife 3:30 PM JW Marriott: Salon 4 A Look Inside DARPA Everyone knows DARPA developed the Internet, but it's lesser known that DARPA shepherded inventions like self-driving cars, and countless other technologies. Join Dan Kaufman as he discusses his journey to DARPA, how the agency is applying soft- ware innovation to issues like human trafficking, and how technologies designed for national security will also make the world a better place. Dan Kaufman, Danny Yadron Dual // Intermediate // #DARPADan 3:30 PM JW Marriott: Salon 8 Anyone Can Prevent Cyberwar: Here's How The number of malicious cyber attacks keep growing and growing with, seemingly, no end in sight. Learn more from security researchers and victims alike about how these crimes have unfolded and what you can do to prevent them. Even if you're not a computer security expert – or have never traveled outside of the US – you can play a part in making such abuses a thing of the past. Bill Marczak, Eva Galperin, Morgan Marquis-Boire, Ryan Lackey Panel // Beginner // #sxcyberwar 5:00 PM JW Marriott: Room 404 Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire: Fallacy of Social at Work Being social is who you are. So it's a shock to discover that being social at work may be difficult, if not impossible. Learn why firms may want, or need, to "wall off" certain people or groups from others. Ethical, generational, cultural challenges, or regulatory or legal implications may prevent true collaborative communication. Discover when to be social or anti-social at work. Joanna Belbey, Julian Mills Core Conversation // Intermediate // #liarliar 5:00 PM JW Marriott: Salon 4 How Framing Affects Privacy Decisions The decisions people make about privacy are influenced by "framing" – that is, the way they conceive choice options and the outcomes associated with these options. Research has identified several factors that lead people to frame the same decision in dramatically different ways. In this presentation, McGlone will describe five framing factors and review their effects on privacy decisions. Matthew McGlone Solo // Intermediate // #framing 5:00 PM JW Marriott: Salon 7 A Framework for Privacy by Design The world is playing an awkward game of privacy and security catch-up that does more to threaten our collective future than protect it. Join WIRED's Mat Honan and privacy pioneer, Dr Parry Aftab, in a discussion about Privacy by Design, an innovative concept that incorporates standards for privacy as an integral part and practice of development. Part of the IEEE Future ID Series. Mat Honan, Parry Aftab Dual // Intermediate // #ieeepriv 5:00 PM JW Marriott: Salon 8 Creepy or Cool: Privacy Risks & Social Norms Online dating, social networking, ubiquitous computing, and the digitization of our offline selves is creating ample opportunities for businesses to innovate and provide cool new services and products. So how do businesses predict what privacy issues might come out of new technological services or decide that what seems creepy now won't be eventually?
