FreedomBox and Edge - Privacy in the European Parliament

+Jonas Smedegaard +

Brussels, Belgium, November 7th, 2012

Overview

State of the net
FreedomBox can change the game
Edge-in-a-box is FreedomBox?
Where to go from here - and how...

Background: Big business stole our birth right

Internet was designed for equal peers
Microsoft applied client-server logic on top
Big corporates now control your data

Background alternate: Privacy getting out of fashion

Equality → society makes "privacy" as human right
Individuality at least cost → mass customization

Problem: selling your sole and being a snitch

There is no such thing as a free lunch: You are the product!

Phone calls, friendships, photos
Opinions, interests, activities

Bigger problem: data mining becomes minefields

big data → knowledge → power
Power corrupts!

Solution: FreedomBox - your personal agent

spies on yourself (to improve user experience)
masquerades as you towards central services (to limit exposure)
obeys only you (or else simply unplug and reset)

FreedomBox developers: hackers in different fields

FreedomBox concept: a small cheap simple-to-use box

FreedomBox use: a boring server

machine operated by other machines

Edge in the European Parliament

machine operated by its human owner (and other machines)

FreedomBox in the European Parliament

safety box for backups and exchange of private data
translator for odd data resources (e.g. email and calendaring)
host for publishing own data
--escape route for censored chinese and syrians--

European Parliament: FreedomBox meets Edge
