South by Southwest Next Week Has an Interesting Exhibitor
March 10th, 2011This vendor isn’t sporting the freshest social networking app, nor do they own a consultancy that can bring your business to a trending Twitter spot in 60 seconds. This guest will be there promoting a new campaign about protecting your privacy in the mediated world we live in.
The ACLU of Northern California will be sharing information on ways to keep your personal things…well…personal. The campaign is entitled “Demand Your Rights”. This new push for privacy online from the government is targeted towards the social media community, a place where information flows freely with little to no protection. The ACLU will be giving away their publication “Privacy and Free Speech.”
Ironically they are using some fun interactive media to promote their campaign. Check out the interactive map, sign up for email updates, and visit them at the show. Of course after you leave their booth you should either return or head to ours – Booth #215 where we are using our free speech to dismantle the financial system with our film.
They’ve put together a fun video to explain online privacy as well. Check it out:
