The Netherlands have a tradition of high statistics when it comes to wiretapping. Now that digital wiretapping is being implemented, these figures will grow even more. This session will give some insight in the implementation of digital wiretapping in the Netherlands and concerns regarding its scope. This tutorial, now in its ninth year, is aimed at giving attendees a solid background in free speech and privacy issues. The fight for privacy involves both social and technological means.
Cryptography is one of the main technological tools.
This tutorial will focus on tools, techniques and other aspects of online methodology that NGOs can use in their work, including how to build coalitions and expand media outreach. The tutorial leaders will show how they have used the web to make their work of documenting and exposing human rights and civil liberties abuses faster, cheaper, more visible, and much more effective. The tutorial will review how many of the groups and individuals that Human Rights Watch works with at a local level use the web. It will also examine how EPIC has used the web to provide access to its publications and to disseminate privacy-related news stories from national and international sources. An EPIC door prize will be awarded to everyone who attends this tutorial.
