Join me at LibrePlanet 2016 for my talk "Restore Online Freedom!"
I will be [speaking at LibrePlanet this year][lp2016] (2016) about freedom on the Web. Here's the session description: > Imagine a world where surveillance is the default and users must opt-in to > privacy. Imagine that your every action is logged and analyzed to learn > how you behave, what your interests are, and what you might do next. > Imagine that, even on your fully free operating system, proprietary > software is automatically downloaded and run not only without your > consent, but often without your knowledge. In this world, even free > software cannot be easily modified, shared, or replaced. In many cases, > you might not even be in control of your own computing -- your actions and > your data might be in control by a remote entity, and only they decide > what you are and are not allowed to do. > > This may sound dystopian, but this is the world you're living in right > now. The Web today is an increasingly hostile, freedom-denying place that > propagates to nearly every aspect of the average users' lives -- from > their PCs to their phones, to their TVs and beyond. But before we can > stand up and demand back our freedoms, we must understand what we're being > robbed of, how it's being done, and what can (or can't) be done to stop > it. There are a number of other [great sessions][lp2016] this year from a [number of speakers][lp2016s], many well-known. We also have an opening keynote from Edward Snowden! All [FSF associate members get free entry][fsfmember]. If you can't join us, the conference will be streamed live. You can also see [videos of past talks][lpvideos] on the FSF's self-hosted [GNU MediaGoblin][goblin] instance. Special thanks to the FSF for covering a large portion of my travel expenses; I otherwise might not have been able to attend. Thank you to all who donated to the conference scholarship fund.
