Where does your data go? Every search, click and download leaves a trace, and someone is collecting it.
Learn about data privacy at a keynote with Sarah Lamdan, author of “Data Cartels: The Companies That Control and Monopolize Our Information” and director of the American Library Association’s Office for Intellectual Freedom, on Wednesday, Oct. 28, from 4 to 5 p.m. in 3016 Waldo Library.
Lamdan will discuss how the resources you use may be connected to a system of surveillance and what this means for your privacy, access and freedom to seek, explore and share ideas and information without restrictions.
A discussion and reception will follow the presentation. Hosted by University Libraries, with support from the Center for the Humanities and WeTalk.
