As digital mapping and location-based services become integral to daily life, the issue of geoprivacy grows increasingly critical. This panel will explore the intersection of privacy, technology, and geography, focusing on the ethical and technological challenges associated with geospatial data collection and usage. Participants will gain insights from experts on public perceptions of geoprivacy and innovative solutions on geoprivacy protections.
