Privacy and information security are among the most critical legal challenges of our digital era. As societies increasingly rely on data-driven technologies, protecting personal information and regulating its usage has become essential for preserving individual autonomy and democratic values.

At our Center, Prof. Tal Zarsky, Dean of the Faculty of Law, stands at the forefront of this field.

In his article “Privacy and Manipulation in the Digital Age,” he delves into how modern data practices can be used to manipulate individuals. Raising vital questions about the issue of when legal intervention is justified.

In another article, “The Privacy-Innovation Conundrum”, he tackles the tension between protecting privacy and fostering innovation, mapping the complex ways in which these two goals can conflict or reinforce one another.

Also, at our center, there is the Law, Technology, and Cyber Clinic, led by Prof. Michal S. Gal and Dr. Dalit Ken-Dror Feldman, which guides students in practical work aimed at addressing real-world privacy and cybersecurity challenges.

These efforts reflect the Center’s commitment to shaping the future of law in our data-centered world.
