We're holding an event with Google next Thursday evening at their offices in Victoria.  We'll be talking about what's happening to privacy online.

Our director Catherine Fieschi will be chairing the discussion, with Peter Fleischer, Google's global privacy counsel, joined by a panel featuring William Dutton, Director of the Oxford Internet Institute and Bobbie Johnson, Guardian's technology correspondent.

We're pretty excited, as the event will touch on some really timely challenges and opportunities that we think are really important.  As we do more and more online, large amounts of information about us is created and captured.  Much of that underpins the spirit of coolaboration and openness of online life.

But are there limits to who sees that information and what they can do with it?  What are the implications of online life for the rich values that our sense of privacy embodies?

It should be a fascinating discussion and ties in closely with our ongoing work on privacy and the politics of personal information sharing.

The event is free but space is limited.  If you would like to attend please write to demos_fyi@demos.co.uk.
