The continuing openess of the internet is fundamental to our way of life, promoting the free flow of ideas to strengthen democratic ideals and deliver the economic benefits of globalisation. But a fundamental challenge for any government is to balance measures intended to protect security and the right to life with the impact these may have on the other rights that we cherish and which form the basis of our society.
The security of cyber space poses particular challenges in meeting tests of necessity and proportionality as its distributed, de-centralised form means that powerful tools may need to be deployed to tackle those who wish to do harm. A clear ethical foundation is essential to ensure that the power of these tools is not abused.
In this first workshop we will explore what questions need to be asked and answered to develop this foundation? |
