While the benefits provided by new technologies are indisputable, they unfortunately pose considerable privacy threats that can potentially turn them into a nightmare.
Most of these systems leave digital traces, or meta-data, that can potentially be used to profile/monitor users. Users are unaware of the information that is collected about themselves.Content on the Internet (documents, emails, chats, images, videos etc) is often disseminated and replicated on different peers or servers.As a result, users lose the control of their data as soon as they release them.This talk will discuss about the emerging field of Dataveillance and present some of our latest projects and results.
