Dr. Fred Cate’s talk revolves around the current approach to data privacy. He analyzes the role that consent plays in data protection and privacy today, grappling with how we manage consent in a world in which data is constantly being inferred about us. In a chaotic world, he emphasizes that it is important that we ask for consent in a meaningful and effective manner. Fred H. Cate is Vice President for Research, Distinguished Professor, and C. Ben Dutton Professor of Law at Indiana University. He specializes in information security and privacy law and has testified before numerous congressional committees and served on many advisory groups for companies and governmental and international organizations. He served as the founding director of IU’s Center for Applied Cybersecurity Research from 2003 to 2014, where he is now a senior fellow. He is also a senior policy advisor to the Centre for Information Policy Leadership and one of the founding editors of the Oxford University Press journal, International Data Privacy Law.

He is the author of more than 200 articles and books, including most recently "Bulk Collection: Systematic Government Access to Private-Sector Data" (with Jim Dempsey) published in 2017 by Oxford University Press. Professor Cate attended Oxford University and received his J.D. and his A.B. with Honors and Distinction from Stanford University. A former Senator and President of the Phi Beta Kappa Society, he is a fellow of Phi Beta Kappa and the American Bar Foundation, and an elected member of the Council on Foreign Relations and the American Law Institute. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

    Excellent talk about an extremely important subject. I would add that we absolutely must start requiring companies to use language that everyone can understand, not just the lawyers.

    A man who references Shakespeare's plays is a wonderful man. Besides this is a very important talk.
  • @meeraesq
    Dr. Cate articulated everything which I always felt. Thank you. If we need to protect democracy, our country and people's independent thinking, collection of PII should be stopped for the purpose of targeting individuals with an intention to influence.
  • @user-nr6qy2yf6u
    It is a video that makes you look back on questions about the use of user personal information.

    Great talk by Dr. Fred Cate! The insights on data privacy and consent are very enlightening. How can we improve the way we ask for consent in today's digital age?
  • @Take_it_E-z
    This raises an important question: Who is liable for a data breach in a cloud computing environment?
  • @hyd119
    Great talk. Thank you Dr. Cate.
  • @examsanjal
    Really nice information. We all need to know about our privacy in every aspect of our life
  • @darkenergy7291
    this is so much more important in the near-post-truth society of today.
  • @ROBJECTS
    This topic is extremely important

    Really enjoyed listening to this talk, and the illusion of users providing true consent in order to use websites/devices is indeed problematic. Everybody clicks on ‘I agree’, practically nobody really reads these privacy statements. I don’t agree, however, with the broader argument that consent itself is a useless legal ground in privacy law. Under European data protection law, consent is one of six legal bases for processing personal data (the other ones are complying with a legal obligation, legitimate interest, contractual obligations, vital interests, and public interest). If it would be the only one, it would indeed be useless, but it is not. Unlike the speaker stated, consent does not at all tend to exonerate data processors from their legal responsibilities towards the data subject. On the contrary: after consent has been given, the data processor still has to comply with many concrete obligations. This is the case whether data are processed on the basis of consent, or any of the other 5 grounds for processing. In general, I can't see any system of privacy law functioning without an important role for data subject consent. Without that, companies and organizations would be allowed to process data as they see fit, and the situation would truly get out of control. But I certainly underwrite mr. Cate’s point of consent being a problematic mechanism between consumers and companies providing complicated services (that is why the GDPR is so adement about consent being explicit)!

    This is one of few TED talks I fully agree with. We need to change the rules. I cant use Adobe if I dont agree to their data sharing rules. Or you cant watch Netflix if you disagree with data privacy rules. A store wouldnt refuse to sell me a mountain dew if I dont agree with tipping the cashier or refusing to round up to donate to a charity.
