Two years after the Snowden revelations started, the conference 
"Surveillance and Citizenship" will review their impacts and 
consequences for state policy, technological development, internet uses 
and the media. It will address the following questions:

• What is the policy environment for surveillance and the work of 
intelligence agencies? Which policy reform proposals have emerged?
• Which technical platforms have been particularly vulnerable; what 
tools exist for secure communication; and what standards are required 
for privacy protection?
• What is the level of public reaction? How do people perceive digital 
surveillance?
• What are the implications of surveillance for journalism, activism and 
social movements?
• Have the media reported accurately on the leaks? Which challenges have 
emerged for journalists?
• What is the nature of citizenship in the 'Snowden Era'?
