Agenda
Protecting Privacy Online: A California Identity Theft Summit
April 11, 2007 • South San Francisco Conference Center
The Internet has made profound changes in our lives. It has put
a world of information at our fingertips, including in some cases
information that we consider private. Online services offer greater
convenience to consumers, cost-saving efficiencies to business and
government, and new opportunities for identity theft and scams to
fraudsters. The third California Identity Theft Summit will address
privacy in the online world, from public policy issues to practical
guidance.

Morning General Session
| 9:30 AM |
Panel 1: Nobody
Knows You're
a Dog: Identity in Cyberspace |
| |
The famous 1993 New Yorker cartoon
of a dog surfing the Net illustrates the challenge
of knowing who's who in the online world.
The anonymity of the Internet allows us to seek
out information and express ourselves freely
and creatively. But predators, spammers, identity
thieves, and other cyber criminals also use that
same anonymity to deceive their victims and hide
from prosecutors. Panelists will discuss strategies
for keeping the Web safe by verifying identity,
while protecting individual privacy rights.

Panel 2: Public
Records and Privacy |
| |
Public records have moved out
of the relative obscurity of courthouses and
county records offices into the 24/7 availability
of the World Wide Web. This move has raised the
vexing policy issue of balancing the public interest
in open government with individual privacy rights.
Panelists will discuss their views on how we
can continue to keep an eye on government without
unduly spying on individuals.
