SUMMARY:Demystifying Online Privacy &amp\; Empowering the Digital Self
 #SXSW
DESCRIPTION:You are being watched\, tracked\, and analyzed right now. But
 what are they collecting and analyzing? Who’s selling it\,
 who&#039\;s buying it\, and why? And who are “they” anyway?
 The subject of personal data collection\, analysis\, and control
 has become increasingly covered in various media channels
 recently such as the Wall Street Journal series\, “What They
 Know”\, reporting that a new industry of tracking has arisen\,
 and you better watch out. Is this buzz fear mongering\, or is it
 true that there’s a dark underbelly of the Internet where your
 information is traded by big corporations every day to the
 detriment of web citizens? Or\, on the other hand\, is there a
 benefit for keeping this information open? This data is often
 used to improve user experiences\, web sites\, programs\, etc.
 that some of us wouldn’t want to live without. As cloud
 technologies and database processing improve the ability to mine
 user data\, analyzing and valuing that data will become an even
 more critical part of the Internet ecosystem. But where do web
 citizens fit in this world? Shouldn’t they be free to own and
 control their data? If so\, how can they derive value\, and in
 that process of creating value can they also improve the data?
 Can we achieve an information system beneficial to all
 participants? We will address these questions from two
 perspectives: individual and industry.\n
