Info2Go! Privacy Literacy is Information Literacy (Idaho Commission for Libraries) Online
Information literacy is essential to library work and everyday life. Yet as we increasingly consume information digitally, privacy literacy becomes equally critical. When we seek out information online, we are regularly asked to consent to tracking technologies, forced to engage with surveillance capitalism, and required to acknowledge we understand privacy policies that, if we’re being honest, few of us actually read. Privacy is not the default when you use the internet, or even scholarly databases, and our daily norm has become coerced uninformed consent to cede ownership of our information. In this webinar, you’ll learn about the history of the internet, the business model of surveillance capitalism, data brokers, the importance of informed consent when using digital platforms, and ways to minimize your data footprint to reclaim your privacy.
