SUMMARY:Data Privacy: Challenges\, Opportunities\, and the Prospects for Legislation in the U.S
DESCRIPTION:“In 2019\, the debate around data privacy has peaked with numerous events elevating the issue\, including the Cambridge Analytica scandal\, the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation coming into effect\, and passage of the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018. As pressure builds\, calls for federal legislation on data privacy have emerged from all sides. With the issue driving forward rapidly\, this event will convene key stakeholders discussing challenges and opportunities around data privacy\, including the risks and harms associated with consumer data collection\, the possibility of a data privacy framework in the US\, and the intersection of data privacy and Internet governance. \nCo-hosted by the Internet Governance Lab at American University and the Greater Washington\, DC Chapter of the Internet Society (ISOC-DC) the symposium will feature a keynote speaker and three panels of experts from government\, industry\, the press\, and academia.”

SUMMARY:Personal Democracy Forum CEE (Central Eastern Europe)
DESCRIPTION:“PDF CEE (Central & Eastern Europe) is a platform for exchanging ideas and experiences of activists\, including Central and Eastern Europe region dealing with increasing civic engagement and transparency in social and political life with the support of new technologies. In Poland since 2013\, PDF CEE is the largest European edition of the American Personal Democracy Forum conference organized by New York’s Civic Hall(formerly Personal Democracy Media) since 2004. \nPDF CEE 2019 together with the Festival of Civic Technologies will be a three-day event filled with brilliant speeches and workshop sessions. It’s time to make new friends and find inspiration for everyday work. This year the conference will be held under the slogan: In Whom We Trust. \nIn the lack of trust in the public sphere\, we often look for the causes of growing populism\, dissemination of false information and social splits. This is only part of the truth. However\, regardless of the subject of trust\, we need to trust in someone or something. The question is: who can we trust?”

SUMMARY:Multidisciplinary International Symposium on Disinformation in Open Online Media (MISDOOM)
DESCRIPTION:“MISDOOM is a multidisciplinary international symposium that brings together researchers and practitioners from communication science\, computer science\, and economy\, as well as journalists and online media professionals to discuss current topics\, technical advances and societal challenges in the area of online media. Participants can discuss and contribute to the following (non-exclusive list of) topics: \n\n\nManipulation of societies\, politics\, economy\, and journalism by disinformation strategies (e.g.\, types of disinformation and manipulation\, case studies\, observations of campaigns and strategies\, communication strategies\, economic implications and threats)\n\nTechnical and organizational means for manipulation (e.g.\, technical state of the art and advances in artificial intelligence and content generation\, technical infrastructure and access to social networks)\nHuman\, technical and hybrid detection mechanisms for orchestrated manipulation or individual actors (e.g.\, indicator-based detection\, machine learning\, anomaly detection\, monitoring systems and visualization\, human task forces)\nCounter-measures on disinformation and manipulation (e.g.\, transparency approaches\, technical limitations\, organizational processes\, behavioral changes\, education\, professional codices\, legal actions)\nFuture trends in online-media usage and societal influencing (e.g.\, development of platforms\, disruption of traditional journalistic work\, potential attack vectors in economy\, journalism\, politics\, research challenges and open fields)\n\nWe invite researchers and practitioners to send original extended research abstracts\, case studies\, or position papers (max. 8 pages) before the Extended Abstract submission deadline. International recognized scholars evaluate all abstracts for suitability according to international research standards. All accepted abstracts are eligible for oral or poster presentation at the conference. In a post-proceeding process\, selected work will be invited to become part of a follow-up book publication. Therefore\, authors have to extend their work to a full research paper\, which is then subject to a standard peer review process.”
