Welcome back to the Uppsala University CryptoParty! We offer a learning space for all to introduce ourselves to the basic tools for self-protection in the digital space.

What: CryptoParty [1], Privacy vs Profiling: a relevancy overview of search engines When: Friday 23/10, 17:00-19:00 Who: Everyone, no prior knowledge required Where: Online. A link to join will be sent before the event and posted on our website.

Summary:

Nowadays search engines (web and not) have a quite clear business case: they are either totally into privacy or not. Such case often boils down to better results vs privacy. But what does this mean from a relevancy perspective? Can privacy play a role in the search engine market? What about the often mentioned concepts "pure web" and "democratic search"?

Best, Anke & Arve
