QCCL has authorised the establishment of a forum for members to exchange views and post news. Although the views expressed will sometimes align with those of QCCL, they are not endorsed by QCCL. The forum is independently funded by advertising. You may access it here.
On 18 April 2012 QCCL is hosting a seminar ‘Who Watches Google, While They Watch You – Online Privacy in the Information Age’. You can find the flyer here.
