Systems of Dehumanization: The Digital Frontlines of the War Against Bodily Autonomy
08-16, 15:00–15:50 (US/Eastern), Little Theatre

This presentation covers the years of security research and surveillance investigations that Daly (a senior staff technologist at the Electronic Frontier Foundation) has done on the various threats facing movements for bodily autonomy. She covers the bad Internet bills that made sex work more dangerous, the ongoing struggle for abortion access in America, and the persecution of trans people across all spectrums of life. These issue-spaces are deeply connected, and the digital threats they face are uniquely dangerous. Come to learn about these threat models, as well as the cross-movement strategies being built for collective liberation against an authoritarian surveillance state.

Daly Barnett is a senior staff technologist at the Electronic Frontier Foundation. She performs security research for social justice and digital privacy trainings for human rights movements.
