WATCH NOW: Children’s Privacy www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbV6... Amelia Vance and I discuss the latest developments in children’s privacy law

just posted a new paper, How Tech Took Over, to SSRN.

It's about how decades of legal and policy interventions made the tech industry an essential partner in public governance. I map the kinds of functions tech cos are performing today, and I argue that their activities are salient to con law.

The world wants to ban children from social media, but there will be grave consequences for us all | Taylor Lorenz Age-verification systems require collecting sensitive data to support the biometric information. In no time, the internet will become a fully surveilled digital panopticon, says technology journalist ...

Thoughtful critique of age verification requirements by @taylorlorenz.bsky.social Age verification is a big privacy threat, with the costs worth more than the benefits. The best approaches to protect children online involve privacy protections. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Republicans are using kids as a smokescreen for what Big Tech lobbyists want: a national surveillance program to harvest our data with zero protections for people and their privacy.

Big tech is hungry for consumer data. Mass. needs privacy legislation now The heart of the privacy bill that the Massachusetts legislature is now considering is a simple but firm rule that companies should collect and use only the personal information that they need to prov...

Woodrow Hartzog & Neil Richards: "The Legislature should ignore the high-priced lobbyists and pass a law that actually protects us from data-hungry business practices that benefit no one but big tech." @hartzog.bsky.social www.wbur.org/cognoscenti/...

"I don’t think warrants are enough to meet the moment we’re in. When the rule of law is being dismantled, when existing law is muddled up with incoherent doctrine, when there are great divisions about what should be criminalized, warrants are woefully insufficient to protect us."

Statement from Dario Amodei on our discussions with the Department of War A statement from our CEO on national security uses of AI

Admirable statement by Anthropic on resisting the government's demand that AI be used for mass surveillance or without guardrails www.anthropic.com/news/stateme...

AI-powered surveillance would make Orwell's Big Brother look like child's play papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.... We must depend on just the good graces and sense of ethics of companies like Anthropic to resist. It's like being surrounded by sharks and hoping they have a conscience.

I wrote about the dangers of authoritarian surveillance here and how it is supercharged by companies papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

30 seconds to midnight? 15? The Trump administration is literally playing with fire.

@garymarcus.bsky.social Marcus points out the profound dangers of the government getting unfettered AI to engage in mass surveillance or make military decisions open.substack.com/pub/garymarc...

Book review of ON PRIVACY AND TECHNOLOGY in The Law Society Gazette
www.lawgazette.co.uk/reviews/priv...
“The ideas in this book gather pace into a powerful testimony for action.”

AI sometimes reminds me of a book I read as a child called The Rainbow Goblins. The book is about a group of goblins that destroy rainbows by squeezing out and stealing their colors. Hmmm . . . open.substack.com/pub/danielso...
