Wednesday, April 4, 2018 at 12:00 pm
Harvard Law School campus
Pound Hall, Rm 201

This event is co-sponsored by Harvard Law School's Center on the Legal Profession.

Chris Kelly worked extensively in developing Facebook’s early approaches to public policy challenges including privacy.  This event will provide a free form discussion about Kelly’s career path, the goals of Facebook’s privacy policies, their interplay with Facebook’s business model, and strategies for implementation. We will also discuss more generally the current political environment in which user-data-driven technology companies find themselves, potential re-implementation, and the possible role of domestic and international privacy regulation. Finally, we’ll find out what Kelly has been involved with since leaving Facebook professionally, politically, and personally.  Kelly will be in discussion with Prof. Ron Dolin, who is currently teaching “Law 2.0: Technology’s Impact on the Practice of Law” at HLS.
