Title:

How Not To Be Evil (Even By Accident)

Your vote:
Yes No
Organizer:
Danny O Brien, Electronic Frontier Foundation
Description:
Everyone starts with good intentions (well, almost everybody). But when your Net idea goes huge, or the bottom line lurches, we're all tempted to cut corners on that hip "don't be evil" pledge. Panelists from the Electronic Frontier Foundation and elsewhere reveal how you can stop your future self from betraying you, your values -- and your users.
Questions
Answered:
  1. I said I'd protect my users privacy. What could mean that I'll break that promise in the future?
  2. What happens when the FBI knocks on my door?
  3. How do I say "no" to a law enforcement request for information that seems excessive?
  4. How can I keep to my desire to protect free speech when my users turn libellous or threatening?
  5. Is my company lawyer is being too cautious?
  6. I don't have a company lawyer! Is my website being too reckless?
  7. We collect scads of data on our end users. Is that okay?
  8. Is there cool encryption and other algorithmic cleverness to protect our users data even from ourselves?
  9. Can we be good *and* successful?
  10. Where did Google go wrong (if anywhere)?
