Although this list is about "security," privacy is the proverbial other side of the coin. Please join us remotely for a talk this evening streamed live. On this issue, there is no one better than Dan Solove! The Future of Reputation: Gossip, Rumor, and Privacy on the Internet Thursday, February 3, 8-9:30 pm Robert Purcell Community Center Auditorium, or go to www.ucpl.cornell.edu<http://www.ucpl.cornell.edu/> for a live stream Social media offer unimagined opportunities for personal expression and communication, but there’s a downside.

A permanent chronicle of our private lives—often dubious and sometimes totally false—follows us, accessible to anyone who cares to look. Scope and amplification extend far and wide. In a world where anyone can spill out their—and others’—most personal secrets to a world-wide audience, how should we balance privacy and free speech? How should the law protect people when harmful gossip and rumors are spread about them on the Internet?
