Online Privacy Issues Examined at Aspen Forum
Online Privacy Issues Examined at Aspen Forum
Experts to Discuss Information Regulation at Breakout Session
For Immediate Release | Contact: Amy Smorodin |
The question of whether and how to regulate the collection and use of online information is receiving renewed attention from the Congress, Federal Trade Commission, and the Department of Commerce. What are the privacy problems we face on the Internet? Are they amenable to government or market solutions? What are the strengths and weaknesses of pending legislative proposals? What are the tradeoffs involved in regulating information flows more stringently? These questions will be examined at the TPI Aspen Forum breakout session "Privacy Online: Where Do We Go From Here?" The discussion is one of three off-the-record breakout sessions scheduled at the TPI Aspen Forum, to be held August 22 - 24 at the St. Regis in Aspen, Colorado.
Participants in the discussion include:
James Assey, Executive Vice President, National Cable & Telecommunications Association
Pablo Chavez, Managing Policy Counsel and Leader, Federal Public Policy Team, Google
Steve DelBianco, Executive Director, NetChoice
Alan Raul, Partner, Sidley Austin LLP
Paul Rubin, Senior Fellow, Technology Policy Institute and Professor of Economics and Law, Emory University
Daniel Sepulveda, Senior Advisor, Office of United States Senator John Kerry
Daniel Weitzner, Associate Administrator for the Office of Policy Analysis and Development, National Telecommunications and Information Administration
Ginsu Yoon, Founder, Bynamite
The session will be moderated by TPI President Thomas Lenard.
