Bart van der Sloot - Coordinator of the Amsterdam Platform for Privacy Research and a Phd candidate at the Institute for Information Law. Van der Sloot specializes in privacy, but is also interested in the liability of internet intermediaries, internet regulation and copyright issues on the web - His talk will asses the benefits of a virtue-based, instead of the current right-based approach to privacy regulation. The contemporary legal privacy paradigm is criticized along two lines: First, in a legal dispute individuals are often unable to adequately substantiate their interests relating to privacy; second, privacy is often outweighed by other interests, for example, security.

Mieke van Heeswijk on 'Lets Fix the Internet' & Publeaks, the anonymous, censorship-resistant whistle blowing platform of the Netherlands. Van Heeswijk will tell us more about its network and use.
