ABOUT THE UNITED NATIONS COMMISSION ON CRIME PREVENTION AND CRIMINAL JUSTICE
Ever since the popularization of the Internet in the early 21st Century, world politics has been playing a perpetual game of catch-up. Privacy has long since eroded, with policies that increase reliance on profit frameworks or rely on selling user data to keep services free, which leave consumers without any confidence concerning the protection of their data against possibly malicious individuals. Alongside this, the dissemination and ownership of ideas, which has only grown exponentially with the popularization of social media and other info-sharing applications, has amassed scrutiny. To what extent are corporations allowed to hinder the sharing of popular works, especially in lieu of the policy of Free Use, the limits of which have been long tested on popular sites? Delegates will address these concerns and work towards catching up with the growth of technology.
