Structural Disconnect Between Youth

31. #WCY2014 Privacy
Want the campaign to go viral but still want to protect individual
privacy.
Conflicting interests?
What did we do?
Photographers were advised to always ask the subjects in advance
when taking pictures.
Safeguarded the confidentiality of data they shared with us when
applying.
Only plenaries and round-table sessions were video recorded.

32. What else could we have done?
• A comprehensive conference privacy policy?
• Different colored badges for delegates who
did not wish to be photographed?

33. Social media is like a tattoo
We are reveling just too much information
Big businesses are using facial recognition
software to track consumers & obtain behavioral
analytics from their social media platforms.
