« Back to Agile Australia in MELBOURNE on 17-18 JUNE 2014
Most Agile Australia attendees work in the technology sector. We now know governments are using our products to keep records of our phone calls, emails, searches, website visits, social media activity and more.
As technology professionals, what data collection are we enabling the in systems we build? What actions can we take to ensure our products are safe for our customers to use without fear of surveillance?
Join this session to learn more about how to create mindful products, ensure digital freedom for the future, and ultimately create the web we want.
This session is running as part of Agile Australia 2014.
