Hesburgh Libraries

The emergence of the modern information society and its increased emphasis on the collection, use, and storage of personal data has enabled the growth of surveillance and the loss of privacy. Do you know who is monitoring your internet use? Do you know how to protect your privacy?

Choose Privacy promotes the importance of individual privacy rights and protecting privacy in society as a whole.

Event Overview

If you feel like you’re being watched, how does your behavior change? Social Cooling describes the long-term negative side effects of living in a reputation economy; this can limit your desire to take risks or exercise free speech. Bring your lunch and join us for conversation and cookies (that won’t track you). For a brief introduction to the topic, check out "Social Cooling."
