I'm a husband, parent of three lovely children and inveterate sci-fi reader. Now focusing on #privacy for @Microsoft. Occasional tweeter.





Congratulations to Virginia for passing a comprehensive privacy bill. Microsoft has long believed there is an urgent need to modernize US privacy laws. We’re encouraged by this progress and the new protections this law creates. 👏 👏 👏

Microsoft fights for the protection of user privacy as a fundamental human right. Hear how from Microsoft's Chris Calabrese, who leads our global public policy work on privacy and responsible data use: msft.it/6006prqEy

This should be a lively discussion. Please join @rcalo, @TerrellMcSweeny, @FTCPhillips, @scholzlauren and me tomorrow at 3 pm ET/noon PT: techpolicylab.uw.edu/events/event/u… Cc: @PrivacyPros, @TechPolicyLab, @UWSchoolofLaw

Really excited for this!! It's all well and good to say you're making privacy violations illegal, but what is the actual redress? I'll ask former and current FTC Commissioners and a privacy remedies expert next week.

Please join the Tech Policy Lab, in partnership with @Microsoft, for Redressing Privacy Violations: A conversation with experts on Thursday, December 10th at noon PST. techpolicylab.uw.edu/events/event/u… Panel: @JulieSBrill, @TerrellMcSweeny, @FTCPhillips, @scholzlauren Moderator: @rcalo

#VirtualFCEFRun2020 done! Nice morning run from Fletcher’s boathouse

The joke is on that prognosis. I swam 5,000 yd this week and today competed a solo half marathon. Hell yes.



The Manager's Amendment to the EARN IT Act makes a major change to the structure of the bill, but the threats to fundamental rights remain: cdt.org/insights/amend…


In partnership with @Airbnb, we are launching Project Lighthouse. This groundbreaking effort has been nearly 2 years in the making. It will collect the data needed to measure and evaluate discrimination on the platform in the US, and then take action against it.

Finally, my deepest thanks to the man who had my back, @CRCalabrese. What a year we have had, my friend. It was an honor to be your co-CEO. (Just don’t ask me to help you shush the Tech Prom crowds.)

🚨 BREAKING: Today, we've taken a critical & necessary stand for the First Amendment. @CenDemTech filed a lawsuit against @POTUS' “Executive Order on Preventing Online Censorship,” which violates 1A by chilling constitutionally protected speech of online platforms & individuals.
