Panel Discussion 
Privacy and Security Policy in the Present Finn Brunton, Ashkan Soltani, Amie Stepanovich As an introduction to our event series, this panel will welcome a few policy and academic experts to comment on the current state of privacy in our post-PRISM domestic condition. What does it mean to be protected, how are we vulnerable and what are the political, legal, and academic implications of current privacy concerns? What programs enfeeble us and what tools and legal proposals might empower us? How can we take action to support responsible protection of precious social and personal assets? What might be the danger if we don’t?
