With :
– Bénédicte Rey, lecturer in sociology at the University of Belfort Montbéliard;

Moderation by Karl van den Broeck, Belgian journalist, essayist, editor-in-chief of the news website Apache.be and conference and debate organiser at BOZAR.
The development of networks and digital communities blurs distinctions between privacy and self-disclosure. In a context of ‘state emergency’ measures as well as personal data surveillance, how could citizens’ rights be preserved? What about social media? How free speech is protected when the frontier between public and private lives become blur? Is the European Union protecting our privacy enough? How is the EU doing this?
Discussions in original languages, with English interpretation.
