Berkman Center, 23 Everett Street, second floor
This talk is part of a lens on privacy and security, which will highlight various talks this semester that focus on issues related to privacy and security in digitally networked environments.
In the past decade, Taiwan has been one area of Asia that has had very high levels of Internet penetration. With the rapid growth of Internet usage came an increase in cybercrime, such as online fraud, copyright infringement, and access offenses. These newly-developed crimes have brought impacts on law enforcement agencies, legislation, and Taiwanese society. In this talk, Doreen Tu, prosecutor of Taipei District Court Prosecutors' Office, will discuss Taiwan's experiences and challenges of combating cybercrimes.

About the Privacy and Security Lens
In spring 2011, the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University and the Center for Research on Computation and Society (CRCS) at the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) will highlight a series of talks that will focus on issues related to privacy and security in digitally networked environments. Events associated with this “lens” will seek to foster discussion and explore novel solutions to digital security and privacy issues, and aim to surface and engage with some of the technological, legal, political, economic, and behavioral tensions at work within these topics. This cross-disciplinary initiative will build on current CRCS and BCIS collaborative efforts, and seek to bring multiple perspectives and approaches to these issues.
