Facebook Hard Questions on Privacy poster

Presentation

The Centre for Law, Technology and Society at the University of Ottawa and Facebook Canada present:

As more and more of our lives extend online, and digital technologies transform how we live, we all face challenging new questions — everything from how best to safeguard personal privacy online to the meaning of free expression to the future of journalism worldwide. We debate these questions fiercely and freely inside Facebook every day, and with experts from around the world whom we consult for guidance. Hard Questions is an effort by Facebook to open dialogue on these difficult questions. The Facebook Canada Hard Questions Roundtable Series takes these difficult conversations offline to consult with Canadian experts and stakeholders who face these issues on the ground.

The Hard Questions Roundtable on Privacy will be a two-part event: 

1. CO-HOST FIRESIDE CHAT

The event will kick off with a video-recorded, publicly available fireside chat. Michael Geist, Professor of Law at the University of Ottawa and Canada Research Chair in Internet and E-commerce Law will introduce the issues and Canadian privacy landscape. Rob Sherman, Deputy Chief Privacy Officer at Facebook will discuss recent privacy developments and announcements at Facebook. The fireside chat will be a publicly available video on the Facebook Canada Hard Questions Roundtables landing page.

Students from uOttawa can attend this part of the event. Please RSVP to  [email protected] before Friday, April 27th, 2018.

2. ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION

The roundtable will be a moderated discussion, closed to the participants invited to participate. We are keen to learn about the most pressing issues for privacy advocates and experts in Canada. We will also seek feedback on new announcements and tools that Facebook has recently launched and/or that are in development. The roundtable discussion will be a private event, held under Chatham House Rules.

This part is by invitation only.
