The Computers, Freedom and Privacy Conference is headed back to the Bay -- April 20-24 in Berkeley, CA.

We are seeking proposals on all aspects of computers, freedom, and privacy ... We have identified three themes for CFP2004:

* The role of technology in providing national security and preserving individual privacy and freedom in the post-9-11 world: How has it enhanced or undermined public security, increased or decreased public access to information, helped or hindered military and law enforcement readiness and efficacy, and infringed or redefined individual privacy?

* The impact of new legal and technical developments on the Internet's utility as a medium for disseminating and archiving information, interacting with individuals, and culture: From digital rights management and trusted computing architectures to jursidiction, intellectual property and tort law, how are the laws of government and the laws of physics and mathematics altering our ability to access, archive and interact with information?

* The role of computer and telecommunications technologies in the political process: What are their effects on grassroots activism, information dissemination, opportunites for informed participation, organizing, candidate and issue campaigns, citizenship and the voting process itself at the local, national, and global levels?
