- 2012 Symposium
The Privacy Paradox
Privacy and Its Conflicting Values
About the Symposium
How should the legal system adjust to our evolving and oftentimes conflicting expectations of privacy? The symposium brought together some of the nation’s foremost practitioners and academics to address the conflict between privacy and our core values.
The symposium began on the evening of Thursday, February 2 with an interactive talk on robots, drones, and the civilian uses of military technology. On Friday, we will feature panels on privacy and its conflicting values, such as the First Amendment. The symposium closed with a keynote on Friday evening.
The symposium was cosponsored by the Stanford Center for Internet and Society. The full Symposium Program (PDF), including speaker bios, and Essays from our Symposium Issue, are now available online.
