The New Digital Profile: Managing Privacy in an Evolving, Mobile Internet
The New Digital Profile: Managing Privacy in an Evolving, Mobile Internet
Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies Media and Technology Institute
Tuesday, July 26
11 am -- 1:30pm
The role that privacy plays in broadband adoption and social media has emerged as a key policy issue. With more new adopters, particularly people of color, seniors and low-income populations going online, the management of their digital profiles becomes a priority. How will current and emerging public policies protect the interests of these more vulnerable consumers? And, how can we ensure that privacy concerns will not present a barrier to broadband adoption among these groups? A panel of policy, industry and government experts to address these questions, and share pending legislation. Lunch will be served.
