> Digital technologies have many empowering features: they can create,
> process and store ever vaster amounts of information. However they are
> also enabling vast surveillance, both state and corporate.
> Corporations are using personal data to monetise our behaviour in a
> process of enclosure, through capturing personal data and control of
> “cloud” services. Is digital surveillance just the natural end result
> of placing powerful technology in the hands of vested interests? Does
> the state view digital information as a means of controlling risk, and
> see absence of data as a risk in itself? How do the state and
> corporations collude, and to what extent are there interest different? 
>
> Most vitally of all, what are the strategies to resist or roll back
> digital surveillance? Can we use legal, social and personal change as
> tools? Will more whistleblowers like Edward Snowden help? Must we
> simply assume that power through surveillance will grow inexorably,
> and if so, how bad will the results be? Are the public and activists
> fully aware of the scale of the threats?
>
> We want experts, campaigners and users to discuss these questions in a
> workshop format. Everyone is invited on an equal basis to discuss
> these questions.
