Digital Self-defense 101 - You need protection whether or not you have something to hide
With: Glacier Chung Ching Kwong (Hong Kong Political and Digital Rights Activist, PhD Student in Law, University of Hamburg, HK/DE)
Do you feel safe enough as an active participant of civil society? Do you know what happens to your personal data once they are given out? What would happen if you dropped your phone today? We are living in an age of commercial and governmental surveillance, that means we are constantly monitored by different entities. To protect one's privacy and digital self, it is of vital importance to know what tools to use and what measures to take. Most importantly - what are you protecting yourself from?
In this 2-hour workshop, Hong Kong political and digital rights activist Glacier Chung Ching Kwong will teach the basics of digital self-defense and go into why you need protection, whether or not you have something to hide.
