Clara Neppel - Privacy, and the Choice Between Surveillance and Citizen Empowerment

Clara Neppel from IEEE presented her findings on “Privacy, and the Choice Between Surveillance and Citizen Empowerment.” She compared the freedom of movement versus safety to early 20th-century traffic. She elaborated on our digital identities, and that we had little control over our digital profiles and our “digital self.” For questions like “Where are the red lines of our digital profiles?” and the clarity of IP-rights, she recommended to develop new frameworks and ethically designed standards benefitting humanity.
