CDT Tech Talks
LGBT Tech, Social Media @ the Border –– Talking Tech w/ Chris Wood, Michelle De Mooy & Rita Cant
29 Aug 2016
The US government wants to know the identifiers for your social media accounts –including your Twitter handle, the name you use on your Facebook account, and perhaps even your OkCupid profile – if you're a visa waiver holder at the border. Michelle & Rita break down the clear privacy and free speech implications. ALSO – Forty percent of US homeless youth identify as LGBT, and for them technology is often essential to survival, critical to overcoming the unique obstacles they face. Chris Wood, co-founder and Executive Director of the LGBT Technology Partnership & Institute, goes into detail about what he's doing to help.
