About Privacy Supreme:
Privacy Supreme, Internet Freedom Foundation’s annual event commemorating the historic Puttaswamy judgment, explores the profound intersection of emerging technology, democracy, and digital/human rights. This year's event delved deep into the evolving role of digital technologies and their impact on privacy and democracy. The event featured a keynote address and a dynamic UnPanel session on the 'Future of Privacy' in India with a distinguished line-up of speakers who joined us to celebrate the 7th anniversary of the Puttaswamy judgement by facilitating dialogue to foster a deeper understanding of the everyday implications of technology on democracy and human rights. Starting afresh with a new format, we introduced the UnPanel - an unmoderated panel with 6 diverse themes and 6 exceptional speakers!
With over 400 registrations, Privacy Supreme 2024 highlighted the strength and commitment of our community in advocating for privacy and democracy.
