Description
Conference proceedings in print, audio, and video formats with related files kept by Judi Clark, organizer of the Computers, Freedom and Privacy conferences that were held during the early 1990s in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Background
Judi Clark was an organizer of the annual conference of Computers, Freedom, and Privacy (CFP), which started in 1991. The impulse behind the first meeting was computer specialist, Jim Warren (1936-2021) with the support of San Francisco-based organization, Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility (CPSR). The conference featured panel discussions centered around the public and private usage of the Internet including freedom of speech protections, security of personal data stored by private companies, government regulation and technology, and cultivating civility on Internet bulletin boards.
