OkCupid was caught red-handed sharing data contrary to its #privacy policy, and then lied about it to the FTC? Sheesh.

this is your reminder to double-check that Apple Maps business locations are correct. I was about to go an hour out to VA on the metro to go to a store location I found on Apple Maps that turns out didn't exist at all!
(No disrespect to Apple Maps, it's a good app! But errors exist.)
this is the _real_ pentagon. much taller than DC's and is actually the tallest pentagonal building in the world!

If House E&C's goal is to protect #kids online, why do their bills (1) preempt stronger state laws; (2) lack a private right of action for kids/parents to enforce their rights; (3) incent #AgeVerification, which will use #FacialRecognition to determine age; (4) have weak #DataMinimization?

If you cite "Anxious Generation" supportively, you should listen to the <If Books Could Kill> podcast about the book, on why it's not very rigorous or persuasive.

"great work! have you considered doing less of it??"
Time to rethink whether #DeIdentification #Anonymization provides any #privacy protection at all.
Of _course_ #ArtificialIntelligence #LargeLanguageModels are fantastic at re-identifying users. It is the exact type of task they excel at--finding correlations in data

FTC hosting a workshop this Thursday on consumer injuries and benefits from the "data-driven economy" with many great academics speaking! Looking forward to the convo.

The anti #BigTech fervor running amok in Congress is so focused on #ContentModeration / #Section230, they're missing the obvious target: meaningful limits on companies' processing our data (which limits their power over us). Do that and they'd finally give consumers protections they want/need.
House Republicans have been "working" (supposedly) on a privacy framework to begin new negotiations around a federal privacy law. But we haven't seen it, and I'm not holding my breath for a proposal that meaningfully moves the needle.
But also, most privacy laws don't address #ArtificialIntelligence, which could be a huge privacy law loophole. Most state laws require, at most, companies to disclose their purposes for processing data. "We collect data to train AI" is basically a get-out-of-privacy-jail free card in those states.
Some state laws have "opt-in" consent for sensitive data. That's nice, but "sensitive" tends to be defined narrowly, and "opt-in" is still not very protective, as industry has endless incentives to nag you into consenting.
It needs to be better than the lion's share of state privacy laws that have passed, which basically are business-as-usual laws drafted and supported by industry. (save for Maryland's law and parts of California's law)
The Verge saying the US desperately needs a #privacy law. I agree.

The Delhi Commitments launched at the #IndiaAIImpactSummit have rightfully centered multilingual evals as a core part of enhancing AI system use but how language experts will be included and eval outcomes are used is also important as Aditya Vashistha and I explain: indianexpress.com/article/opin...

Joseph Gordon-Levitt could be fighting #BigTech by pushing for comprehensive #privacy legislation that actually limits their influence/power over us. Instead, he wants to repeal #Section230, which will only embolden the very companies he supposedly hates.

had to laugh a little at this. my goodness.
The FTC is planning to host a data harms/benefits workshop on Feb 26. Panels are all academics. We will be watching closely.

how many more people are going to argue that "we don't let kids buy alcohol" without recognizing that access to *information* on the internet is very different (constitutionally etc) than purchasing a product in the real world?

the FTC could have these kinds of statements too! if only there were minority commissioners.
really wish there were a Democratic FTC commissioner who could call out the ways Meador is wrong or misleading. I fear we may never have minority commissioners again, unfortunately.
