Ubiquitous Surveillance and Security [Keynote]

Governments and corporations gather, store, and analyze the tremendous amount of data we chuff out as we move through our digitized lives. Often this is without our knowledge, and typically without our consent. Based on this data, they draw conclusions about us that we might disagree with or object to, and that can impact our lives in profound ways. We may not like to admit it, but we are under mass surveillance. Much of what we know about the United States National Security Agency (NSA)´s surveillance comes from Edward Snowden, although people both before and after him also leaked agency secrets.
