9:30-11:00 Community Building Workshop: Societal Impacts of Big Data and the Role of Civil Society
This panel discusses how civil society can engage in the policy debates on big data. Currently civil society engages in the political discussion on the large legal frameworks, but is generally missing in other important areas where big data policy is developed. This panel can be an opportunity to explore which are important areas to focus on and how civil society can get involved. The discussion would also go deeper into the societal impacts of big data, in the context of the research findings of the BYTE project.

9:30-11:00 Owning the Web Together: Peer Production and Sharing
Is the sharing economy as manifested by Uber, Airbnb and such about sharing? Or is it just another example of monetizing social interactions? Unethical labor practices are part of the business models of these companies besides other regulatory woes. Moreover these "convenient" services often come at the cost of selling our personal data. Is it possible to create online platforms based on genuine practices of sharing, with different ownership models and fair working conditions? What is platform cooperativism and how can it help to create a fairer online economy? What are the promises of peer production? Why does decentralization matter? How do the new Bitcoin-powered "blockchain" technologies create possibilities for decentralized networks and platforms? Are the commons-based decentralized digital platforms a utopian dream? What are the new challenges they would bring about? In light of these questions, this session will discuss the future of the Internet.

This workshop will explain the structure of programmatic advertising, especially in the EU; discuss how our personal data is treated and for what purposes; and examine its role in political campaigns.

11:30-12:45 The Internet of Things, Security and Privacy
With the development of the Internet of Things, more and more gadgets will be able monitor our live patterns, from what we eat to how we sleep. But the problems do not stop there - there is also the widespread vulnerability of IoT devices to hacking as highlighted by the recent 'distributed denial of service' (DDoS) attacks that used household devices to disrupt access to hundreds of major websites. So what will surveillance of the future look like? This panel discusses existing problems and aims at a constructive brainstorming session to find (technical and political) solutions, starting with the design of IoT devices and interfaces, to legislative approaches and security education.
