The right to privacy has become one of the lightning rod issues of American law and society. The boundaries of this fundamental right are being tested in new ways by advances in technology, such as the proliferation of wireless services, location based advertising, social networking and behavioral marketing, where seemingly anonymous activities can yield enormous amounts of personally identifiable information. Government and industry attempts to strike an appropriate balance between privacy and technology raise considerable public policy and constitutional issues, as well as significant challenges for the development of new services and technologies. Join us on July 10 as we consider Privacy in the Digital Age.

Space is limited, so please RSVP to cqforum_technology@cq.com.
