Panel Discussion: State Surveillance and the Limits on Government Power

Protection from state surveillance is a fundamental right. But this right is not absolute—and governments, academics, and civil society groups continue to debate its limits.

Advancements in tech provide new ways for states to monitor their citizens, and new questions about how much monitoring should be permitted.

How much state surveillance is acceptable under the law - and do recent events involving spyware, phone hacking and facial recognition suggest that resistance against government snooping is becoming impossible?

Our panel will explore the legal and technical implications of state surveillance in light of recent events.
