On Thursday, March 12, 2020, the Science-Actions association invites you to discuss issues related to privacy on the Internet and social media. This Café Scientifique will be held at the MJC (Bartem space) at 311 Faubourg Montmélian in Chambéry, and will begin at 8 p.m.
The internet and social media: the end of privacy?
" You are seeing this ad because you are a 35-year-old single heterosexual man living in Chambéry, your income is over €2,000 per month, you are in good health, and your friends have liked similar content." The starting point for targeted marketing, the collection and resale of data on the internet by private companies, is causing an unprecedented invasion of users' privacy.
Opportunists, governments, intelligence agencies, and hackers are taking advantage of these new resources. Faced with this scourge, many challenges are emerging today. Who should protect sensitive content? The user or the state? What technical means are available to protect our data? Free software, IT security, cryptography—how can we democratize the use of these sometimes complex technologies despite opposition from the web giants? How can we implement laws that transcend borders and protect privacy without undermining national security?
Come and discuss and question the speakers on these topics, which are of major importance for our future. In the presence of:
- Florent Autréau, security consultant at MATARU, lecturer atGrenoble Alpes University (Cybersecurity and CSI master's degrees), member of the Grehack organization
- Thierry Bollon, Senior Lecturer in Psychology at the Inter-University Laboratory of Psychology – Personality, Cognition, Social Change(LIP-PC2S), University of Savoie Mont Blanc
- Antoine Duparay, open source software developer at Framasoft
- Jacques-Olivier Lachaud, professor of computer science at the Mathematics Laboratory (LAMA), University of Savoie Mont Blanc
