[isoc-ny] WEBCAST TODAY: Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Privacy

[ISOC-NY announcements]

Starts at Noon. This issue - ISP's right to datamine their customers -
showed up earlier in the year at a couple of congressional hearings in the
form of a turf war between the FTC and the FCC. Telcos are citing some
ancient right to collect calling data, while the FTC considers it a
consumer issue. It was Harold Feld, who is on the panel today who somewhat set
the thing in motion
<https://www.publicknowledge.org/press-release/public-knowledge-urges-fcc-to-issue-nprm-to-protect-consumer-privacy>,
while Richard Bennett, also speaking, considers the whole thing a massive
overreach <http://hightechforum.org/fact-checking-privacy-nprm/> given that
all the edge providers do it anyway. Today's keynote comes from Jon
Lebowitz, who, according to Wikipedia
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Leibowitz>, is "founding Co-Chair of the
"21st Century Privacy Coalition," a coalition of telecommunications
companies and trade associations focused on relaxing federal privacy laws."
