Tech users are plagued by private companies who harvest, exploit, and sell your personal info—often without meaningful consent or consequences. So how is this legal and what can we do to stop it.

At this year’s Global Members’ Speakeasy, we’re partnering with Women in Security and Privacy (WISP) and addressing the role that online behavioral tracking and the massive data broker industry play in internet security and your privacy (or lack thereof!), and how people around the world are fighting back. 

We're welcoming EFF Associate Director of Community Organizing Rory Mir, Cybersecurity Researcher Yael Grauer, EFF Staff Technologist Lena Cohen, and EFF IP Litigation Director Mitch Stoltz for this discussion focusing on corporate surveillance and what you can do about it. Livestream discussion with Q&A to follow.
