Digital technology has enabled governments to impose surveillance that Stalin could only dream of, making it next to impossible to talk with a reporter undetected. This puts democracy in danger. Stallman will present the absolute limit on general surveillance in a democracy, and suggest ways to design systems not to collect dossiers on all citizens.

Richard Stallman's speech will be nontechnical, admission is gratis, and the public is encouraged to attend.

Location: JJ Laginha Auditorium, ISCTE, Av.ª das Forças Armadas
