# Week 05 ### Welcome back! ### Come up and ask me questions for 5 minutes :) --- ## Notes from Marking - Overall pretty good. I really want people to justify every recommendation they come up with please! - Don't just say "do X". Say "do X because of Y". -- ## Due dates Week 5 logbooks: check the course page. --- ## OK, so what happened in the lecture? -- ## Privacy? -- ## Problematic statements... - _trust the government_ - _if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to worry about_ -- ## Who here actually trusts the government? -- ## I do. Usually. -- ## Those airplane declaration forms are interesting... -- ## Panopticon is really interesting -- ## We love regulators (Europe is great at this) - USB-C - Sideloading - GDPR! --- ## Case Study Time -- ## Debate Government agencies should be allowed to collect and have access to all data and communications of everyone in Australia, for good purposes. - For: Yes, they should - Against: No, they shouldn't. -- ## Groups of 5 - First speaker has 2 minutes to provide 3 arguments FOR the topic. - Second speaker has 2 minutes to provide 3 arguments AGAINST the topic. - Third speaker will point out flaws in the arguments of the second speaker, summarising the FOR case. - Fourth speaker will do the same for the AGAINST case. - Adjudicator will talk about what was convincing, what was not, and decide who won. -- ## Notes 1. The first speakers should define or clarify terms from the question. 2. Stick to your time (2 minutes), be clear, be unemotional, and don't make things personal. 3. Focus on the problem at hand, not the person talking about it. 4. Listen to what the other side is saying. The best rebuttals are those that consider the other side.
