Professor Chander Speaks on Internet Surveillance at Stanford

On November 11, Professor Anupam Chander spoke at Stanford University's Shorenstein Asia-Pacific Research Center, a part of the Freeman-Spogli Institute for International Studies. His talk was titled, "China, India, and the Electronic Silk Road: How Surveillance Undermines Commerce." 

The lecture compared the rise of China and India as Internet superpowers. Professor Chander argued that surveillance states undermine the trust that Internet commerce relies upon.
