Theme 3: The Power of Data - Zeitgeist Europe 2010

We live in a world that is increasingly data-rich. Real-time monitoring and targeting techniques can yield huge benefit to business and society, but also raise important concerns over privacy. In this session, we will explore the frontiers of the data debate - from the dangers posed by data and the protections needed to guard our civil rights; to demands for greater transparency and giving people control over their data; to opportunities for valuable new services that rely on mining and linking data-streams.

Shami Chakrabarti (Director, Liberty)
Sir Tim Berners-Lee (Inventor, World Wide Web)
Brian Fitzpatrick (Engineering Manager & Open Source Advocate, Google)
Professor Maurice Biriotti (Founder & CEO, SHM Productions)

Moderated by Professor John Palfrey (Professor of Law, Harvard)

I always like the ideas of identifying yourself in a world where a chance remark can get you tossed in prison and simple curiosity can get you arrested. The Global nature of the net doesn't exactly encourage openness since there are no governments left that feel freedom should be an option for the citizen. You are

free to do as you are told while being bought and sold in anonymity by corporations.

It took three panels to get a women on it and she is an activist rather than a CEO/COO. We need more women in positions of power.
