Tracking the TrackersOnline tracking poses a serious privacy challenge that has drawn significant attention in both academia and industry.In this talk, I discuss my company's recent work in detecting tracking and exposing both the extent of tracker and the (mostly unseen) profiles generated by the tracking for the trackers. I will also reflect on whether the benefits of "Big Data" actually requires a massive privacy breach on a global scale or whether this is just a convenience for the companies involved to have all the data at hand. The interesting case of the browser (a major component/accomplice in tracking) as a precursor of things to come when everything becomes a computer (IoT etc...) will be discussed.Speaker: Jean-Paul Schmetz is the Chief Scientist of Burda GmbH (a major German Media Company) and the founder/CEO of Cliqz GmbH (a browser/search engine company owned by Burda and Mozilla). He received his MS in Computer Science from Stanford University and his MA in Philosophy from the University of Louvain.
