The roundtable is an important extension of FPF’s December 2015 workshop, “Beyond IRBs: Designing Ethical Review Processes for Big Data Research,” supported by the National Science Foundation and Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.
A major focus of the roundtable will be on a new paper by Facebook’s Molly Jackman and Lauri Kanerva entitled, “Evolving the IRB: Building Robust Review for Industry Research.”

This event is part of the “Making Research Real” series, hosted by Boston University.
When the general public thinks of the hazards of the Internet, they think about phishing schemes or SQL injection. Not the 95% of the Internet we don’t see — like how email is delivered or Netflix is streamed. The fact is, most of the web is still unsecured and there’s plenty to worry about beyond devising a foolproof password.
Join Boston University Provost Jean Morrison and honorary co-hosts the Congressional Cybersecurity Caucus for an illuminating panel discussion with leading researchers, policymakers, and government officials on the true breadth of Internet insecurity and what can (or can’t) be done to fix it.
Speakers:
- Sharon Goldberg, Associate Professor of Computer Science, Boston University
- Joseph Hall, Chief Technologist, Center for Democracy & Technology
- Joseph Calandrino, Research Director, Office of Technology Research and Investigation, Federal Trade Commission
Boxed lunches will be provided.
In accordance with Congressional ethics rules, this is a widely attended event.

In November 2015, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) hosted a workshop on cross-device tracking. Cross-device tracking is the process of identifying users across multiple devices such as smartphone and tablet. This process generates linkage between these devices where users and consumers can be monitored, making them targets of relevant advertising and personalized services based on their online activities.
The proliferation of devices and various apps have paved the way for marketers to connect with consumers through targeted advertisements and greater fraud prevention resulting to improved users’ online experience. However, the perceived lack of transparency and effective opt-out mechanisms for consumers unsurprisingly got the attention of the FTC. The Commission emphasized that every digital advertising should be offering consumers opt-out options and that privacy should still be of paramount concern. Furthermore, failure to precisely describe the scope of opting out of cross-device tracking may be considered an unfair or deceptive practice in violation of Section 5 of the FTC Act.
In this two-hour LIVE Webcast, a panel of key thought leaders and practitioners assembled by The Knowledge Group will offer a discussion on the new opportunities in Cross-Device Tracking and the legal issues and aspects involving data privacy. The panel will also help companies better understand various cross-device models and will provide the best practices in developing and implementing an effective and compliant digital advertising program and in mitigating privacy violation risks that firms may face when using cross-device tracking.
Key Topics:
- Cross-Device Tracking
- Overview of Online Behavioral Advertising
- Market Trends for Cross-Device Tracking
- Regulatory and Self-Regulatory Framework
- Privacy and Security Issues
- Best Disclosure Practices for Many Forms of Social Media
- Consumer Privacy Bill of Rights
- Data Privacy and Security Compliance
- Regulatory Updates
- Development of Compliant Advertising Program
- Litigation Risks

CASE STUDIES
The digital economy permeates the world economy. Information is flowing within and across borders with unprecedented pace and volume with significant impact on innovation, trade, global value chains and society as a whole. Few aspects of our lives remain untouched by digitalisation.
Meeting these challenges requires collaboration amongst all stakeholders – citizens, firms and governments – to develop new, economy wide approaches to digital economy policy development. On 21-23 June 2016, Ministers and stakeholders will gather at the Moon Palace Hotel in Cancún, Mexico, for an OECD Ministerial Meeting on the Digital Economy: Innovation, Growth and Social Prosperity, to move the digital agenda forward in four key policy areas foundational to the growth of the digital economy. Internet openness is high on policy agendas;digital trust needs to be strengthened; global connectivity is reaching an unprecedented scale, while jobs and skills are being radically transformed.
