It’s alive!! *The Privacy Fallacy: Harm and Power in the Information Economy* is out today in paperback, hardcover, & eBook cambridge.org/core/books/pri…

After nearly 2 years of work, the UK Government’s International Data Transfers Expert Council’s report was published & presented yesterday. It’s been a fascinating journey but I feel we are at the start of the most important work. Some personal observations. 🧵

Tune in to hear @cobun and me on the not-so-trendy trends in privacy today, with the lovely @privacypen and a special secret guest appearance!

A couple of my faves say smart things while I suffer an ailment of my own doing. @gmaldoff @cobun thanks for joining me!

@dnazarian @jkosseff @NavalAcademy This is awesome!

Regulating the Risks of AI describes the growing convergence around risk regulation in AI governance. It addresses the question: what does it mean to use risk regulation to govern AI systems? (the revised ~65 page version) papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

Looks like we might be about to see the FTC propose a health privacy rule as part of their commercial surveillance rulemaking...(!!)

Great rundown on how scraping law has shifted, and just a few of the conspicuous hypocrites in these cases. (Cough cough, Meta and Microsoft) blog.ericgoldman.org/archives/2023/…

Privacy regulators are literally declaring the anti-scraping rule that platforms like Meta want. This is a foolproof way to prevent interoperability mandates from ever working, to deter critical research from the likes of @JuliaAngwin and to entrench incumbent monopolies.

What if the government launched a consultation on developing a Canadian code of practice for generative AI and didn’t tell anyone or post the consultation document? Apparently consultation launched last week but there is no link to an actual document. canada.ca/en/government/…

@RobertJBateman What were the other ICO statements?

The ICO has made a few "data protection doesn't stop you doing this or that" declarations recently. This time it's about banks telling opted-out customers about better deals. I'm no bank-hugger, but it seems unfair to say banks are "hiding behind data protection law" here.

@k_ringrose Gorgeous!

Back home from our wedding & honeymoon! Re-acclimating to DC's rain and our daily lives 💗

@lee_kovarsky I am a former student of Lee’s and have not served as an AUSA or clerked, but I am a proud dog dad, and I couldn’t agree more.

Buckle up! Here are some recent developments in the data sharing and ethics space we're tracking at @futureofprivacy. 🧵

You may be wondering: why are some of the very people who develop and deploy artificial intelligence sounding the alarm about it's existential threat? Consider two reasons--

It feels like everyone is talking non-stop about ChatGPT and art generators and every other possible form of generative AI. We're joining the party, but with a report on harms. Specifically, all the harms. It's...it's a long report. And good. epic.org/wp-content/upl…

Picture this: You're trying to learn privacy, but your electricity flickers in and out, and bomb sirens blare. In this episode of The Privacy Beat Podcast, Ukrainian law student Nazar Dudchak talks about his recent "win" in court despite the adversity. ow.ly/O1rs50NRPuz
