The session we co-organized at the Privacy Camp for PREDATOR was successfully completed

Homo Digitalis had the pleasure of participating in the privacy camp organized by European Digital Rights in Brussels a few days ago.
Among the topics discussed were the preservation of electronic communications metadata, spyware, immigration and the use of new technologies and sex workers rights.
Of particular interest was the Workshop In spyware we trust. With new tools come new problems with speakers European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS) Wojciech Wiewiórowski, @EU_EDPS Rebecca White Campaigner – Disrupting Surveillance Team at Amnesty Tech, Bastien Le Querrec, member of La Quadrature Du Net, and Elisa Triantafillou, journalist of inside story, who presented how she and her team uncovered the use of predator software in Greece.

Our organisation was represented by Eleftherios Chelioudakis and Elpida Vamvaka.
Many congratulations to EDRi for organizing such timely and interesting discussions.

We participated in a discussion-speech after the performance of the Andromeda Theatre Group "It's Not a Game"

We actively support the Andromeda Theatre Group, which this year is staging its performance “It’s Not a Game”. The 4 extraordinary protagonists confess stories in which they have been victims or perpetrators via the internet. The topics they deal with are online blackmail, sextortion, revenge porn, bullying, scams and internet addiction.

In the context of the performance, open discussions with the audience, lasting one hour, were organized on 7 and 14 December at the nus theatre, in which Apollonia Ioannidou, a lawyer specializing in Law and Technology, and Katerina Mezini, a lawyer with a Master’s degree in Law and Information Technologies, participated from our team. Thank you to our two members for representing us in this important discussion!

The next discussion with the participation of important stakeholders will take place on 21/12!
