Introduction & Overview
One of the defining issues of our age has been the extraordinary progress that has been made in digital technology. It has revolutionised communications and problem solving, but at the same time has presented us with formidable ethical and moral questions, many of them intersecting with human rights and psychology.
As we develop the Global Network website we will add to this section connecting ideas and people working on the data rights and privacy, human rights and psychology.
