Description of Chat:

Growing up in the age of the Internet, young people have a unique view of the issues related to personal data online.

Three students representing Meade Senior High School in Fort Meade in Maryland share their perspectives of the needs and challenges around the right to privacy in the digital age. Panelists Erin ('24), Scott ('23) and Danny ('22) discuss how cybersecurity education has provided them with foundational knowledge of how to manage personal data, as well as informed their opinions of how data should be used. Student attendees were welcomed to share their opinions with and ask questions to the panelists.

This Chat was presented via Nepris - now Pathful Connect.

Key Questions:
* What is 'the right to privacy', and is it a human right?
* How do technologies such as AI create digital environments that can manipulate people's behavior?
* Are there benefits to not having our data secured? Why is the default always the least restrictive?
* What regulations could be enacted to better protect our right to privacy or what technologies could be used?

Expected Outcomes:
* Awareness of the importance of cybersecurity to protect and defend our national way of life.
* Understanding the threats and impact of malicious cyber activity.
* Explain the need for cybersecurity professionals; especially in law.
* Summarize the breadth of cybersecurity opportunities students may not have explored.
