            --------------------------------------
Abstract:
Paul Jones will lead a discussion on the various ways that we willingly
compromise the privacy of our clients, our companies and ourselves by using
the WWW (as opposed to e-mail, chats etc).  Included will be discussions of
logs and logging policies, proxy-servers and firewalls, the ever delicious
topics of cookies, registration, filtering, encrypted WWW service, and the
recent Intel flap.

About the speaker:
Although often mistaken for other unreconstructed relics of the failed
social policies of the Sixties, Paul Jones is the Director of UNC MetaLab, a
project that includes the Site Formerly Known as SunSITE and other networked
media and digital library experiments.  Paul teaches at UNC on the faculties
of the School of Journalism and Mass Communication and the School of
Information and Library Science.  He is co-author of The_Web_Server_Book
(Ventana, 1995) (rereleased and updated as
The_Unix_Web_Server_Book,_Second_Edition Ventana, 1997).  With Bert Dempsey,
he is editor of Internet_Issues_and_Advanced_Applications_1997-98
(Scarecrow, 1998).  Paul is the editor of the Internet Poetry Archives,
published with UNC Press, as well as an actively publishing poet.  He has
served on the board of the Chapel Hill ACLU.
