Marc Liberatore, UMass CICS teaching faculty member & associate director of the UMass Digital Forensics Lab, will be giving a lecture in ILC N101 from 6:00PM-7:00PM. In this talk, we’ll engage in a fast-paced introduction to federal computer crime law and privacy law in the United States. We’ll start by talking about what is a computer crime and what is not — and the answers may surprise you. We’ll then move on to the privacy protections you have, both from government surveillance and more generally. We’ll finish up with a brief explanation of how and why our government can do more than you might think in some circumstances — particularly when dealing with foreign intelligence — and how and why we might constrain both public and private actors’ actions that invade our privacy.
