Richard Stallman - "We must legislate to block collection of personal data" (HOPE, New York, NY)

Richard Stallman will be speaking at The Circle of HOPE (2018-07-22–24).

We must legislate to block collection of personal data" With surveillance so pervasive, weak measures can only nibble around the edges. To restore privacy, we need strong measures. Companies are so adept at manufacturing users' consent that the requirement hardly hampers their surveillance, so now what we need nowadays is to put strict limits on what data systems can collect.

Richard Stallman's speech will be nontechnical and the public is encouraged to attend.

Location: 18th floor, Hotel Pennsylvania, 401 Seventh Avenue at 33rd Street (15 Penn Plaza), New York, NY 10001
