Buying Privacy in Digitized Cities

Buying Privacy in Digitized Cities

<p> As new sensing technologies appear in our cities almost overnight, what does it mean to be visible or invisible? What happens when socioeconomic categories determine when, where, and how you&#8217;re seen? The asymmetry in who is visible, and where, is a long-standing urban problem, but it is now being built into our technologies and our cities. </p> <p> The worlds of advertising, city planning, and law enforcement are each creating their own inconsistent visions. Privacy is not dead; rather, it is being selectively vivisected. What can we do to fix this? In this talk, a lot of problems and a few solutions will be covered, including the announcement of a new competition for the development of tactical countersurveillance tools. </p>
