EFF Staff Technologist Seth Schoen will give a free talk next Tuesday at USC in Los Angeles. Seth is the final speaker in my Fulbright Chair lecture series this year, and he’s a fascinating technologist who does an admirable job of explaining the subtle ways in which technology design can affect liberty for better or for worse.
Seth’s the creator of the conceptual Trusted Computing mod, Owner Override, an implementation of Trusted Computing that preserves all the privacy benefits and eliminates the danger to users.
He’s also the maintainer of the Bootable Business Card Linux distribution, the author of the DeCSS Haiku, and one of the investigators who cracked the secret behind the hidden codes in color laser printer outputs.
Where: University of Southern California, Annenberg School for Communication, Room 207 (Los Angeles)
When: Tuesday, November 28, 7PM-9PM
Hope to see you there!
