DESCRIPTION:Privacy in Europe is undergoing a structural shift toward proac
 tive systems of identity verification\, communication governance\, environ
 mental sensing\, and data infrastructure control.\n\nThis talk examines fo
 ur converging mechanisms driving this transition: age verification framewo
 rks that bind access to verified identity\; ongoing EU-level proposals aro
 und inspection of private encrypted communications under the guise of chil
 d safety\; expansion of ubiquitous physical-world surveillance through bio
 metric systems\, and mobile inference\; and the accelerating impact of AI 
 systems that transform public data into inferential and generative models 
 with limited provenance guarantees. Together\, these developments suggest 
 a move away from privacy as a default property of digital systems toward p
 rivacy as a conditional\, regulated state contingent on compliance with la
 yered technical and legal requirements. Using EU policy trajectory as the 
 primary case study\, the talk argues that these mechanisms are not isolate
 d policy choices but components of a broader convergence toward an "access
 -controlled internet\," where identity\, communication\, and content are i
 ncreasingly mediated by interoperable governance systems rather than open 
 network principles.
