Technology disrupts all aspects of our lives – in good ways and bad. Meanwhile, basic rights such as privacy, freedom of expression and non-discrimination are under unprecedented strain. Big Data and the Internet of Things bring policy, regulatory and enforcement challenges that require a holistic approach to ensure that the rights and interests of individuals are safeguarded in the coming decades.

When it comes to developing sustainable computing systems, private, secure, open and ethical IT is the way of the future. The General Data Protection Legislation passed in January 2016 has been a landmark in this endeavor, however beyond legislation the time is ripe for societal and technological changes.
