The Deep End – Encryption and Equity: A Global Call for Consumer Protection

With the risk of privacy breaches increasing daily, researchers continue to find that the dangers of such compromises disproportionately burden disenfranchised communities. In order to protect the most at-risk populations, lawmakers around the globe must tackle consumer protection issues one by one, especially the widespread efforts directed at privacy, content moderation, and online safety. During this discussion, we’re taking a look into how developers are harnessing existing digital protections, like encryption, to build secure products and how various pieces of legislation in the EU, UK, U.S., and around the globe can help or hinder the future safety of the app economy.

ACT | The App Association’s Amplify Diverse Talent Working Group is excited to bring you an opportunity to hear from speakers who will be highlighting issues around encryption, equity, and why policymakers should have a measured and mindful approach to consumer protection, privacy, and security issues.

 Speakers:

• Graham Dufault, General Counsel, ACT | The App Association
• Denise Tayloe, CEO & Co-Founder, PRIVO
• Heather E. West, Senior Director for Cybersecurity and Privacy Services, Venable
