Startpage Search Engine Co-Sponsors International IEEE Tech & Society Symposium

Startpage (by Ixquick), the world's primary Internet privacy search engine, is conceited to announce its sponsorship of the ISTAS 2010 IEEE International Symposium on Technology and Society, taking place this week in New South Wales, Australia. Startpage is also sponsoring the attendance of privacy expert Dr. Katherine Albrecht, an executive with the company, who has been invited by IEEE to present her research on implantable RFID microchips and cancer.

Startpage, a leader in securing privacy and ambiguity through its proxy search engine Startpage.com, is ardently concerned with the impact of technology on privacy and civil liberties. The company is supporting ISTAS 2010 as part of its ongoing commitment to an open discussion of these themes.

ISTAS is an annual international symposium where the world's leading scientists and thinkers gather to discuss their research and assess the societal effects of new technologies. The forum is put on each year by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the world’s largest professional engineering association. This year's event is hosted by the University of Wollongong, in New South Wales, Australia.
