Michael Fertik talks privacy with Stanford Law students
Yesterday, CEO Michael Fertik was invited to present at Professor Jonathan Zittrain and Elizabeth Stark’s “Difficult Problems in Cyberlaw” class at Stanford Law School. Fertik joined a distinguished panel that included Stanford Law fellow Ryan Calo, Yahoo’s Director of Human Rights Ebele Okobi-Harris, and a contingent from the Mozilla Foundation including UI guru Aza Raskin and executive director Mark Surman. Other guests to the class included Lauren Gelman, Mozilla counsel Julie Martin, and a technology delegation from Japan.
The class engaged in a spirited discussion about the meaning of privacy on the Internet today, ranging from whether “privacy is dead” (in the wake of comments from Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg suggesting that he thinks users don’t value their privacy anymore), to whether conceptions of “privacy” online should include information disclosed by your friends through their blogs and social media.
If you were at the class, we welcome continued discussion.
