Topic 1: Panama Papers
The Panama Papers is the largest data leak in history, listed by the Panamanian firm Mossack Fonseca. The massive leak of information painted a disturbing picture of how the rich and the dangerous evade tax, launder copious amounts of money and avoid sanctions. In the past, these issues where dealt with by brute force to subjugate the people- but this leak proves that truncating information with the click of a button is just as, if not more, effective. Delegates should contemplate both the economic and social implications of this data leak, and how they can be dealt with in throes of a digitized revolution.
