Anglo-American University in Prague Professors in the Pub: Big Tech Politics
*Only for AAU students, faculty and staff
Each month, come to Café Des Taxis to have a drink and discussion with professors and other experts about important events happening in the world. Share your questions and your views, and join the long tradition of politics in the pub
This month:
With vast amounts of our data in their grip, Silicon Valley giants are now shaping not only markets, but also politics, privacy, and even security. In Europe, proposals like the Chat Control initiative spark heated debate over surveillance, anonymity, and state power. Who really safeguards democracy when governments outsource control and corporations privatize security? Are we witnessing a silent coup by Big Tech? Come discuss these questions and ask your own.
This month’s Professors in the Pub will be held on October 9, 2025, at 6:30 pm, in Café des Taxis.
The lead professor will be David Erkomaishvili, Cyber Security lecturer at Charles University Department of Security Studies.
