Powerful surveillance software aka spyware is widely available on the internet at affordable prices. It is marketed to employers wanting to monitor the movements of their workers, to parents wanting to check electronically on the whereabouts of their children, or even to reveal a partner’s infidelity. Where do the tech community, the police, and the policymakers stand on the issue of surveillance for private purposes? How much such usage/marketing is legal? And, lastly, how do you safeguard yourself against an attack? Speaker Eva Galperin, Director of Cybersecurity at Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), will address these questions and more.
