European politics: What you can do for me^H^H all of us.
med Niels Elgaard Larsen

Dette er en opfølgning på et foredrag på bornhack.dk 2016. Jeg regner med at foredraget holdes på dansk.

There is an abundance of proposed laws, regulations, initatiatives, trade agreements, etc., that we all can see will do nothing good for our security and privacy. A lot of the technology most people use every day seems to be designed to undermine our right to privacy.

Some of this is caused by a fundamental lack of understanding of technology, some on greed, some is just evil.

We can fight this on a political level, as e.g., European Digital Rights and IT-Pol do.

But we can also oppose it from our home ground. Using techology. We already have, of course. Imagine where we would be without Free Software, PGP, TOR, Blockchains, etc.

But where do we stand today? And how do we take advantage of our hacker skills? I will give a brief overview based mostly on current European politics. Then we will have an open discussion about the way forward.
