An international conference on Privacy Law, Technology Policy and the Internet have been held the 25-26th February in Hyderabad - India), within the framework of SET-DEV (Science, Ethics and Technological Responsibility in Developing and Emerging Countries) project . It is only relatively recently that constitutional law in some countries has explicitly recognised the right of the individual to the free development of his or her personality. Part of this development has been attributed to an increased awareness caused by the appearance of new technologies and especially computers, digital devices and the Internet. This phenomenon of “Technology-driven law” is one which has gradually gathered pace over the past 40 years in Europe and the USA but its more recent arrival in India and other Asian states provides the main theme of this conference. What values does India bring to Technology-driven law and policy and which values and legal principles is it importing wholesale? In this conference European, Indian and other responses to technology policy, personality rights and Privacy and data protection law are considered from various dimensions by sociologists, political scientists, anthropologists, lawyers, business and IT specialists.
Daniele Mezzana will attend the conference on behalf of LSC, presenting a paper on SET-DEV main findings so far.
