Dedicated to Caspar Bowden, the visionary privacy advocate whose work illuminated the geopolitical dynamics of surveillance and digital power, this panel brings together experts from EU policy and computer science to examine the proposed CSAM regulation and its far-reaching implications for encryption, privacy, and fundamental rights. Co-organised with Professor Bart Preneel of KU Leuven, it continues the tradition of interdisciplinary dialogue that Bowden so forcefully championed.
