"In a world dominated by digital technologies, where what appears to be transparent and democratic, we often do not see the logic behind it. The excesses of the tech giants behind the devices that we increasingly use have led us to reformulate basic civil rights such as privacy. In the face of one of the most important global events of the last century in 2020, we believe that we need to reflect and debate. The COVID-19 pandemic has led to the extreme problem between technology and privacy. The new public policies that have been organized according to citizenship data have confirmed an idea that already existed: citizens have no control over our data, and this can be used to control us," they say in the presentation of the conference.

Based on the current situation, this year’s Euskarabildua day will bring together two themes: the situation generated by the pandemic and the contributions that technological sovereignty can make to it. The conference will take place at the San Telmo Museum in Donostia-San Sebastián, on Thursday, October 29, from 09:00 to 09:00.
