On Sunday October 4, 15:00-16:00, Jaap-Henk Hoepman from Radboud University / Privacy & Identity Lab will give a lecture as part of the WAMS “Data Rush” programme entitled

Honest design.

The lecture will take place at the Noorderlicht fotofestival venue (the Old Sugar Factory, Energieweg 10, Groningen, directions).

Abstract

The dream of an open and free Internet is all but shattered. It has become an instrument for government surveillance and industrial profiling. As a result, people trust their smartphones and the internet services they use less. This is a shame, because many Internet services and smartphone apps are genuinely useful. And, if properly designed, you can be in control over such devices and services when you use them, without having to worry about negative consequences. In this talk I will explain how.
