La privacidad es tratar de proteger lo que nos hace humanos: nuestro comportamiento diario, nuestra personalidad, nuestros miedos, nuestras relaciones y nuestras vulnerabilidades. Todo el mundo merece privacidad. Las Naciones Unidas incluso codificaron la privacidad como un derecho humano en la Declaración Universal de los Derechos Humanos en 1948. Sin embargo, los gobiernos, las corporaciones y otras entidades poderosas habitualmente nos impiden ejercer nuestro derecho a la privacidad a través de la vigilancia, el monitoreo y el seguimiento.
Activists, human rights defenders, minorities and people protesting for change are often the targets of this surveillance, and thus have a unique perspective on the critical importance of privacy and anonymity online.
In this edition of PrivChat, we're bringing together a group of panelists with direct experience as activists or working with activist groups who will talk about their experiences with surveillance and privacy:
Join Ali Gharavi, Senior Programme Specialist, Swedish International Development Agency; Nadya Tolokonnika, artist, activist, and founding member of Pussy Riot; and Nicholas Merrill, founder and Executive Director, the Calyx Institute to discuss their experiences with surveillance and why fighting for privacy is a key part of ensuring human rights for all.
Cindy Cohn, Directora Ejecutiva de EFF, se unirá a nosotros como moderadora.
