Dear Colleagues,
This Wednesday, we will kick off our public lecture series „Taming the Machines" - Discussing the Ethics of Information Technologies
Regulated Data - Regulated Activism? Digital Activism in the GDPR Era
Professor Payal Arora, Erasmus University Rotterdam/Catalyst Lab
When: 14th November 2018, 18:00-20:00
Where: lecture hall B, main building at Edmund-Siemers-Allee 1, University of Hamburg
About the lecture
In a favela ruled by the drug lords in Rio de Janeiro, an activist uses Facebook Live to capture the dealings in his neighborhood, putting himself and some of his community members at risk. In Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, a few teenage girls instagram the fashions of the week, unveiled, an act that can be persecuted by the morality police. In Jammu and Kashmir, some activists through the hashtag #justiceforkathua draw attention to the case of an eight-year old nomadic girl who was gang raped, defying the privacy law on revealing identities of minors. These are just some of the many cases that shed light on the gray area between privacy and protest. Contrary to seeking to be protected through anonymity as the bulk of the current research alludes to, some of those at the margins may choose to put themselves at high risk by being visible and heard. The GDPR, rooted in the Western ideology of individual choice and rights, may have created a privacy universalism, begging the question of whether privacy is a privilege and a luxury. This talk draws from a decade of fieldwork and activism among vulnerable communities beyond the West to grapple with the question of whether privacy and activism are after all compatible.
