Symposium on Applications of Contextual Integrity

Sherrerd Hall Sherrerd Hall, Princeton, NJ, United States

The aim of the symposium is to foster communication among diverse communities of research and practice that have used the theory of contextual integrity as a framework to reason about, design and evaluate, craft regulation for, and generate formal logics for privacy. After the success of a half-day meeting in Fall 2017, we are excited to follow up with a more comprehensive event to foster discussion across a broader spectrum of disciplines. The symposium will feature a combination of invited and submitted works.

CITP Lecture Series: Finn Myrstad – Dark Patterns, IoT Security and Privacy: What a Doll, a Dating App and Two Tech Giants Can Tell Us About the Challenges of the Internet Today

Sherrerd Hall, 3rd floor open space Princeton, NJ, United States

Consumer advocate, Finn Lützow-Holm Myrstad, and his team at the Norwegian Consumer Council (NCC) in the last few years have conducted cutting edge analysis of privacy policies, combined with data and security analysis of apps and connected products, exposing malpractice and achieving some global changes with companies such as Apple, Tinder, Runkeeper and others. More recently, the NCC published a report on how tech companies use dark patterns to discourage us from exercising our right to privacy, focusing mainly on Facebook and Google. Finn is coming to Princeton to present some of their most recent work – and to discuss how to best fix these clear breaches of law and minimum standards.
