Hi folks, Thanks for those of you that attended my talk yesterday. There were some great questions like how do we resolve axiomatic differences in values (recognizing that such differences exist is a start), how do approaches to the design of technologies apply to places with different value systems (I’m a fan of self-determination), and is there a trade-off between privacy-enhancing technologies and the spread of disinformation (maybe, but I worry that this is a red-herring that would discredit privacy-by-design technologies writ large and assumes a kind of benevolence in those who control the means of communication—there’s great work on this by legal scholar Tim Wu).
I’ve uploaded my slides (jaredmoore.org/assets/state_of_ethics.pdf <http://jaredmoore.org/assets/state_of_ethics.pdf>) for those interested. My resources page (jaredmoore.org/resources <http://jaredmoore.org/resources>) lists a number of the organizations and newsletters I use to stay active in this space. Please follow up with me with any other questions or feedback you might have.
