June 18, 2015 by isoc-ny

On Monday June 15 2015 the OpenITP Techno-Activism Third Monday presented Libraries, Digital Privacy, & Data Literacy – a conversation about the impact of surveillance and data collection on citizens, specifically on disadvantaged communities. Learn more about the privacy and data issues that librarians face in their work and new efforts to empower them to address these issues. Libraries are among the most trusted institutions in their communities, making librarians uniquely positioned to prepare patrons for the privacy challenges brought about by the pervasiveness of data sharing, profiling, DRM, third-party platforms, and surveillance technologies. Individuals with the greatest digital literacy needs are also the most vulnerable to abuses of personal data, creating an even more urgent need for libraries to address these issues. Librarians are prepared to meet this need. Join us for an informal conversation highlighting new efforts afoot to train librarians in digital privacy and data literacy. We are bringing together librarians, policy advocates, technologists, and the communities they all serve to further bridge not just the digital divide but the privacy digital divide. Panel: Melissa Morrone, public librarian, Brooklyn; Seeta Peña Gangadharan, senior research fellow,Open Technology Institute; Bonnie Tijerina, Data & Society Fellow; Alycia Sellie, Associate Librarian for Collections, Graduate Center Library. Moderator: Audrey Evans, Head of Research, Dollar a Day, Inc. Video is below.

On Monday May 19 2014 the OpenITP Techno-Activism Third Monday‘s featured presenter was Gregory Donovan who presented Dataveillance and Everyday Consciousness in the ‘Smart’ City. Surveillance doesn’t have to be an accepted part of city living. Last year alone, Iowa City unanimously passed a law banning a large number of surveillance technologies. What is the situation in New York? Donovan explains who is tracking your movements, how they are doing it, and why; in addition, how city dwellers can take control of their privacy and security.

On Monday March 17 2014, the OpenITP Techno-Activism Third Monday‘s featured presenter was Professor Susan McGregor of Tow Center for Digital Journalism at Columbia University. Her topic was Journalists, Security Practices & The Future . The primary challenges that journalists face in adopting effective security practices in their work.

Developers Harlo Holmes and Bryan Nunez of the Guardian Project presented the InformaCam software library at Techno-Activism 3rd Monday at the Calyx Institute NYC on July 15 2013. Hosted by the Calyx Institute & OpenITP. InformaCam is an Android framework for verifying mobile media such as images and video. Created for human rights organizations, journalists and legal clinics, the tool automatically insures authenticity and preserves chain-of-custody for any image or video. Notably, since InformaCam is a developer library, it can be plugged into an organization’s existing mobile software, and sync media to a variety of third party storage solutions such as Dropbox.
