| | | | Hi there, 27 October 2019. That was the last time the MozFest Community was able to meet in person. That changes next week! Join me TUESDAY and WEDNESDAY at the Ethical Dilemma Cafe in Manchester, UK. The Ethical Dilemma Cafe is a cafe…with a catch. Visitors are offered free coffee in exchange for accepting a set of terms & conditions; consenting to have their personal data tracked in the café. In other words, it’s a real life experiment on data consent and privacy. The Ethical Dilemma Cafe features three zones: ☕ The Cafe, where you can hangout, drink complimentary coffee, and explore installations designed to show you how your online data materializes as your online persona, one you might not recognise. 🎨 The Gallery, where we will host short conversations and discussions in a series of curated topics designed to raise important issues we face online today, name the barriers that obstruct alternative data infrastructures, and highlight the privilege many of us experience, whether through location, race or language. 🧰 The Workshop, comprised of a series of sessions designed to rebuild and regain control of our data, our online experiences and our digital ID. Are you ready to let your data take you on a journey? Learn how your data defines you? Glean a perspective you might not have seen before? If your data were making the decisions, in what direction would it lead you? Would it take you to Manchester? [hint: say, “yes!”] I hope to see you there! Sarah Allen Festival Director | |
