Controlling Your Online Privacy
Northwest Academy

Join us this month for two awesome presentations about online privacy!

First, Gizmodo's Kashmir Hill will join us remotely and share some Internet of Things stories, like the time she was able to control the lights in a stranger's house in another state, and how Amazon includes all Echo owners into a random social network.

Then IT consultant and technical author Russell Mickler will walk us through the various privacy settings in Facebook so we can better control what we share with our contacts and only share the things we actually want to share.

Program:

6:00 PM - Doors

6:30 PM - Kashmir Hill

7:00 PM - Russell Mickler

7:30 PM - Wrap up / networking

We'll have snacks, and there will be an opportunity for networking following the talks. We hope to see you there!
