Data Dialogues (AKA Data Dialogue Series) are three hour interactive and interdisciplinary workshops hosted by Meta Platforms, focused on privacy challenges in rapidly evolving product areas, such as Threads and ActivityPub.
A small group of practitioners from academia, nonprofits, and civil society are invited to discuss the challenges in developing a strategy that ensures products are designed to work for and protect everyone.
Conversations are held under the Chatham House Rule.
