Register now for a panel discussion with UC Campus Privacy Officers to celebrate Data Privacy Day this Friday, January 28, at noon! Panelists will explore the film, The Social Dilemma, the future of data, what UC’s role should be (if any) in solving the social dilemma, and how viewers can take active steps to better control their data and the data entrusted to them by the UC Community.
The Social Dilemma is a documentary film where Silicon Valley insiders reveal how social media is reprogramming civilization by exposing what’s hiding on the other side of your screen. If would like to watch the film prior to attending the panel, it is available to stream on Netflix.
