Defcon 20 Hacking Conference
Las Vegas, NV | July 26 – 29, 2012
In July 2012, I took part in a panel at the 20th annual Defcon Conference. I joined tech experts Christopher Soghoian from the Open Society Institute and Catherine Crump, staff attorney with the ACLU’s Project on Speech, Privacy, and Technology, for a briefing on the current technological and legal landscape of location data tracking. The panelists explored how consumer location tracking efforts weave a story about the systemic privacy vulnerabilities of smart phones and the legal ways in which law enforcement has been able to hitch a ride. The panel was moderated by the Director of the ACLU’s Project on Speech, Privacy, and Technology, Ben Wizner.
