The Freedom Box: How to Reclaim Privacy on the Web

Presented at The Next HOPE (2010), July 18, 2010, 2 p.m. (60 minutes)

The world has finally realized that “spying all the time” is too high a price to pay for social networking platforms like Facebook. Now it’s up to the hacker community to respond and build a free software social networking distribution to empower end users and help them reclaim their privacy. Software Freedom Law Center attorney James Vasile will talk about the progress of the “Freedom Box” box project and how the hacker community can get involved.
