Stefano Rossetti, Online tracking and Freedom of Scientific Research, Lecture 2/2

Abstract: One of the main features of modern information societies is the vast amount of data exchanged via technological tools. In this lecture, we will take a close look at the types of information potentially involved, the technical tools used to seize it and what happens once it has been received by a third party. We will then clarify how the new privacy frameworks regulate these flows. We will talk mainly about GDPR, the e-Privacy Directive and the AI Act.
