The world is flooded with "smart" and embedded devices, many of which play a crucial role in
|
|
|
|
|
modern society. The reality is this "future" came with the cost of lost freedoms and
|
|
|
|
|
lack of security. Device manufactures, OEMs and ISPs are all guilty of enticing users to
|
|
|
|
|
accept that our modern way of life should be built on a foundation of black boxes that we can't
|
|
|
|
|
control. This session will cover a wide range of topics in relation to the freedom issues around "smart" and embedded devices.

|
|
|
|
|
accept that our modern way of life should be built on a foundation of black boxes that we can't

|
|
|
|
control, sometimes requiring the usage of a proprietary app or connecting to a server when
|
|
|
|
|
the device is in our very own living room. In many cases, the lack of support and critical
|
|
|
|
|
security updates can turn these convenient devices into weapons that can have a greater impact
|
|
|
|
|
on users and society at large.

This session will cover a wide range of topics in relation to the freedom issues presented with
|
|
|
|
|
embedded / "smart" devices and how some of these issues can be mitigated using Free Software.
