Throwback to the successful Members in the Spotlight Workshop at the National Library of Greece
Throwback to The Glassroom: Misinformation Edition exhibition that we brought for the first time in Greece with Digital Detox Experience and Open Lab Athens!
Those who visited the exhibition on Monday 21/11 also attended the Members in the Spotlight event with interesting talks by Homo Digitalis members on topical issues such as DSA/DMA implementation, gambling in the Metaverse, international data transfers, and e-health implications today.
Many thanks to Vassilis Vassilopoulos for coordinating and the rest of the members for their excellent presentations: Maria – Alexandra Papoutsi, Christos Zanganas, Alkmini Gianni, and Nikos Papadopoulos.
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!
We spoke to Inside.story as part of the article "On the internet no one knows you're a dog"
Is there a way to protect ourselves on the internet without compromising our privacy?
Members of HomoDigitalis spoke to inside story. and journalist Rafaella Maneli about an issue that concerns us every day.
-Kostas Kakavoulis “The internet started out as completely free, but that era has now passed. Today we do in it what we do in analogue life. In fact on the internet we are more exposed than in the real world. Therefore, human activity in it cannot remain unregulated.”
-Alexandra Giannopoulou: “Since Snowden’s time we still know that the relationship between security and privacy is not orthogonal. Similarly, neither is the relationship between child protection and privacy.”
-Giannis Krontiris: “SSI (Self-Sovereign Identity) technology can provide the appropriate framework for the identification and verification of digital identities, focusing on the user, who becomes the sovereign of his or her data.”
