The morning session will feature a high-level townhall on Data Privacy &
Public Interest, focusing on the ethical tensions between digital activism,
state accountability, and personal data protection. Panelists from the
ODPC, the Office of the Ombudsman, Meta, and youth movements will reflect
on lessons from the 2024 Finance Bill protests and engage with young people
