Computer security is now a public policy issue. Election security, blockchain, "going dark," the vulnerabilities equities debate, IoT safety , data privacy, algorithmic security and fairness, critical infrastructure: these are all important public policy issues with a strong Internet security component. But while an understanding of the technology involved is fundamental to crafting good policy, there is little involvement of technologists in policy discussions. This is not sustainable. We need public-interest technologists: people from our fields helping craft policy, and working to provide security to agencies and groups working in the broader public interest. We need these people in government, at NGOs, teaching at universities, as part of the press, and inside private companies. This is increasingly critical to both public safety and overall social welfare. This talk both describes the current state of public-interest technology, and offers a way forward for us individually and collectively for our field. The defining policy question of the Internet age is this: How much of our lives should be governed by technology, and under what terms? We need to be involved in that debate.

    Hello dear friends Today we get notified of the censorship of our channel by the new YouTube Guidelines (who change every 6 months) because of "Content reusing without including substantial original commentary or educational value" This is a little bit tricky because these Guidelines wasn't there in 2013, 2014, 2015 and so on... It is abnormal to change the rules during a game ...even more before Christmas! Since 2013 we are trying to share the best Security Conference on our channel and we need your help to keep it up. As you already know I was fighting the disease since the last 2 years and it's difficult and without resource and support I wouldn't be able to keep up on this way. You can support us on Patreon if you find our work valuable. You can also express your dissatisfaction regarding our situation to Youtube on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and wherever you can. to help us regain our rights. Your support in anyway will be truly appreciated Thanks guys for taking time reading me and stay tuned! Merry Christmas to you all and God bless you all! www.patreon.com/HackersOnBoard Bitcoin Wallet: 1NWM4upgKj8iF7zknzmnHG8Mm2pvAyTHqc
