About this event

Welcome to Startup Policy Lab’s The Policy Series, hosted by Runway! For our first October session, we go one-on-one with Jennifer Granick, Director of Civil Liberties at <a href="http://cyberlaw.stanford.edu" target="_blank">Stanford Center for Internet and Society</a> (CIS). As the keynote speaker at <a href="https://www.blackhat.com/us-15/" target="_blank">Black Hat</a> this year, Director Granick issued a call of action that hit the media by storm: we are in danger of losing the freedom of the Internet and "need to protect the dream of a free and open Internet." Join us on October 15th, for a screening of highlights from Director Granick's keynote address followed by a fireside chat between Director Granick and Timothy Yim, Startup Policy Lab's Dir. of Data and Privacy, and audience Q&A. Topics for the night include: <ul> <li>How can we protect the freedom to tinker, especially in the face of the DMCA, CFAA, the Patriot Act, and Foreign Surveillance law?</li> <li>Is transparency or societal oversight even possible in a Black Box Society?</li> <li>Can centralization of data—both by platform and by law via data localization and retention—coexist with meaningful privacy? </li> <li>How can we create a positive-sum approach to privacy, data security, and national security? What role should the government play? What role should hackers—both new and old—play?</li> <li>Can law and policy protect the free and open principles that generation after generation of new, innovative, and disruptive technology embraces?</li> </ul> Appetizers and libations will be provided. <div>AGENDA</div> <div>6:00-6:30 Doors open & registration</div> <div>6:30-7:00 Screening Highlights of Granick's Black Hat Opening Remarks 7:00-7:30 Fireside chat with Timothy Yim 7:30-8:00 Audience Q&A</div> <div>8:00-8:30 Networking and refreshments</div> <div> Find us on Twitter <a href="http://www.startuppolicylab.org" target="_blank">@StartupPolicy</a> and follow the conversation on Twitter: #techpolicy Become a Member of Startup Policy Lab to receive discounts, be the first to hear about events, and other awesome benefits! <a href="http://startuppolicylab.org/membership" target="_blank">Click here for more information</a>. </div> Speaker: Jennifer Granick <img style="margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px; float: left;" alt="" src="https://cdn.evbuc.com/eventlogos/111738781/granick2.png" />Jennifer Granick is the Director of Civil Liberties at the <a href="http://cyberlaw.stanford.edu/" target="_blank">Stanford Center for Internet and Society</a>.
