Shape the world
Global Shapers Bengaluru, in partnership with The Humming Tree, will present a screening of the Oscar-winning documentary Citizenfour, followed by a discussion on privacy, the Internet and our rights. “From now, know that every border you cross, every purchase you make, every call you dial, every cell phone tower you pass, friend you keep, article you write, site you visit, subject line you type, and packet you route, is in the hands of a system whose reach is unlimited but whose safeguards are not,” so said Edward Snowden in Citizenfour, a documentary that traces his journey and provides important commentary on the state of privacy, human rights and government surveillance. Following the screening, there will be a discussion with Thejesh GN and Karthik Balakrishna. Thejesh is an independent technologist, developer, blogger, and data enthusiast. He is the co-founder and chairman of DataMeet Trust. Recently, Thejesh published a code that was being inserted into user browsing windows by a foreign technology company, and this gained widespread media coverage.
