External Events Oxford Union debate - "This House Believes Technology Companies Should Prevent Government Access to Consumers' Data." This Thursday, the Oxford Union will be holding a debate on the motion “This House Believes Technology Companies Should Prevent Government Access to Consumers' Data.” The motion is a very topical one given the recent case between Apple and the FBI as well as the Investigatory Powers Bill in Parliament. The speaker lineup is superb. It includes Matthew Olsen, the former Director of the US National Counterterrorism Center, and Denelle Dixon-Thayer, the Chief Legal and Business Officer of Mozilla. It is with great pleasure that I invite all of you, whether a Union member or not, to come hear the debate at 8:30pm. For more information, please find the Facebook event at https://www.facebook.com/events/871503672995978/. If you are a Union member, simply show your card at the door of the chamber. If you are not a Union member, please email michael.li(a)oxford-union.org to put your name on the list. Then if you identify yourself to the security guard on the door of the chamber and pay a small fee (£10), you will be welcomed inside. I hope to see many of you there; reach out if you have any questions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Oxford University Computer Society (CompSoc) aims to organise meetings and events for our members to use and further their computing interests.
