Do we have Freedom of Thought in the 21st Century?80 minutes at 1800 will celebrate the women of tomorrow. Taking place in partnership with Veuve Cliquot, the event will pay homage to Madame Cliquot, the pioneering woman who broke the accepted norms and changed the face of champagne production forever over two centuries ago.Session #1: Freedom of Thought in the 21st CenturyThe advent of the internet brought us many great things – news was delivered in real-time, e-mails replaced fax machines, e-commerce opened up our options and social media improved global connectivity. But with every button clicked, a data point about us was stored. Fast forward to 2019, Netflix’s chilling Great Hack documentary laid bare the cynicism and chaos surrounding data harvesting practices used in controversial political campaigns for Trump and the Brexiters.The convened panel will explore whether we do have true freedom of thought in the 21st century or has our right to freedom and a democratic world been sold off? The session will be moderated by Marc Nicholson, Founder at 1880.Admission to the event is free, but registration via this Peatix site is essential.Updatestag:peatix.com,2019-10-08 06:36:022019-10-08 06:36:02The event description was updated.
