A Zoom webinar hosted by Dialogue on Diversity &
D.C. Mayor's Office on Latino Affairs
Dialogue on Diversity has traditionally featured questions of personal liberty and human rights in the first of the year’s programs. Here, notes Ma. Cristina Caballero, the Dialogue’s President, the current debates continue to rage over any regulation of speech and broadcasting and the internet. A matter at once of industrial structure and the integrity of public regulation. Vigorous debate goes on, all against the backdrop of the fragile public discourse.
S. Jenell Trigg,  Esq., CIPP/US of the Lerman Senter law firm in Washington, where she heads the firm’s work with a focus on the character of privacy in its essence: Privacy, Data Security, and Civil Rights Issues on the Internet,  Here in brief is the 21st Century statement of the Rule:

  • Benefits and Harms of online behavioral advertising and predictive analysis
  • Benefits and Harms related to the use of social media platforms
  • Privacy and Civil Rights issues as related to Facial Recognition and Artificial Intelligence,
  • And why Communities of Color should care.

These all are surely concepts that have come to a convey a rich depth of meaning in U.S. society, even as we nervously see them menaced by reckless passions of political excess. Ms. Trigg’s labors, all part of her tireless and vigorous infusion of energies and insight in the cause of civil rights, have found an encouraging home in the law office and in her activities, such as today’s,  in the never ended tasks of shoring up the vitality of a rights-conscious society.
A panelist speaking on the already launched electronic structures is Rachele Hendricks-Sturrup, specialist in Ethical, Legal, and Social Considerations for Real World Data, Public and Private Domains  — now engaged at Duke-Margolis in Washington, is busily alerting the world health care establishment on what may well be a newly fashioned bill of public  awareness of rampaging sicknesses, stopping the spread and mitigating the severity.
 
  • How today in the 21st century, the sensitivity of private health care data increasingly overlaps with the sensitivity of private and public digital consumer health data, warranting a closer look at comprehensive of privacy protections, the need for stronger digital health literacy education, research, and more. 
  • Present some of her latest work on this topic.
  • And engage the audience in activities to share their perspectives and ask questions.
Gregory L. Rohde, President, e–Copernicus , Washington, D.C. 

Mr. Rohde, best seen as the Technological Entrepreneur, to employ one of his well-earned titles, brings to us a distillate of learning ranging over the field of the law and of the history of thought, under the provocative heading: Life in the Surveillance Economy.  

  • Once one turns from these, his expertise is indeed daunting as he leads his crew of legal and electronic engineers at e-Copernicus in the design of a world-girdling trail of modern companies and public agencies.  Mr. Rohde accurately discerns the trends of commerce and invention.
  • All while the forms of individual privacy too have changed in the era of social media and the business of data collection from everyone’s online activity. Our use of smartphones, apps, and online viewing and shopping creates a digital footprint that is collected and used by technology companies — all raising new challenges to our individual privacy. What can we do about all this? And what kinds of policy changes should be considered to deal with these novel privacy challenges.
