Expert meetings online

We want to hear the voice of specialists and people who have experienced this phenomenon in the discussion about fake news and its impact on our lives. That is why we invite everyone to online meetings with experts who will tell, among others, about what fake news are, how to capture them, how they influence the shaping of the awareness of contemporary Internet users. Among our guests there will be also public figures who will share with us their experiences in dealing with the problem of false content about themselves.

  Marcin Maj

  For 13 years he has been dealing with the description and analysis of internet fraud, legal loopholes allowing fraud, personal data protection problems and technologies related to privacy and threats to it. In those matters, he collaborated with various media, companies and non-governmental organizations, creating not only press texts, but also more extensive thematic publications (e.g. guides on e-administration, security in companies or removing illegal information from the network). His strictly technological interests may appear bizzare, as for example he is interested in the possibility of using sound waves to attack or steal data. At Niebezpiecznik, Marcin mainly deals with editorial work and training in the field of cybersecurity. As an experienced journalist, he talks about security in such a way that also "non-technical" people can understand it. He likes teaching people. In addition, he is often the first person to respond to reports of problems received by the editorial offices. If someone reports a problem to your company, Marcin will probably call you back.
