CFC Media Lab Guest Faculty member, Kate Raynes-Goldie, will be speaking at the 32nd Annual Conference of Data Protection and Privacy Commissioners – Privacy: Generations on the Plenary panel: “Where are we now? The inter-generational shift in privacy perceptions”
For hundreds of generations privacy has been recognized as a fundamental human right in Israel.
Today, privacy stands at a crossroads. The existing legal and regulatory frameworks, in the EU, US, and OECD, as well as in Israel, date back to the 1980s and 1990s. They predate a new generation of technologies including mobile devices, biometrics, RFID, cloud computing, indeed, the Internet itself – which has swept through the marketplace with such force so as to destabilize laws and regulations. They have seen shifts in the perception of privacy among a new generation of users, who post personal information and communicate with friends and colleagues on social networks. Policymakers all over the world realize that this sea change calls for a new generation of governance.

Join us in Israel, a land melding old with new – from the religious, cultural and historical heritage of Jerusalem, to the high tech start ups of what has become known as “Silicon Wadi”.

- Yoram Hacohen, Head of ILITA

Privacy: Generations runs from October 27-29 (October 29: closed session for regulators)
