“Mission Critical”: Report Documents Increasing Primacy of Digital Privacy, Consumer Distrust of AI
Cisco’s annual Data Privacy Benchmark Study for 2022 highlights how digital privacy has become a primary “mission critical” concern for organizations of all types and sizes, as consumers demand better treatment of personal data and nations around the world put privacy laws into action.
In addition to becoming a regular part of business practices, the report finds that the return on investment (ROI) of mature digital privacy programs continues to be high – particularly when privacy is aligned with security.
… The survey notes that 90% of consumers now say they will not buy from organizations that do not protect personal data, and 91% say that they consider external privacy certifications as part of their buying process. 92% of organizations now say that digital privacy is integral to their culture.
Am I reading this right? This biometric data comes from images, not directly from people.
Texas attorney general sues Meta over Facebook’s facial recognition
The Texas attorney general is suing Facebook parent Meta, saying the company has unlawfully collected biometric data on Texans for commercial purposes, without their informed consent.
Attorney General Ken Paxton filed the lawsuit Monday a state district court claiming Meta has been “storing millions of biometric identifiers” — identified as retina or iris scans, voice prints, or a record of hand and face geometry — contained in photos and videos people upload to its services, including Facebook and Instagram.

Social Media Law
Bogdan, Varvara, Social Media Law (December 10, 2021). Available at SSRN: https://ssrn.com/abstract=3982602 or http://dx.doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.3982602
“Social media law is a new direction for scientific research. Users of various social networking websites around the world are concerned about the protection and preservation of their personal data, the protection of copyright for content, including after the death of the user, as well as the security of conducting business when using them. Some disruptions in the work of social media (on March 20, 2021 and October 4, 2021, the work of Instagram, one of the most popular networks, was blocked for several hours) led to the inability to use accounts, including business ones. Freedom to register in social media networks can also cause problems that are not legally protected. The creation of fake accounts, the provision of inaccurate information, and various types of abuse ‒ all of these negatively affect the dynamics of the development of social networks and undermines the credibility of their owners. It is against this background that this essay proposes the author’s vision of the development of social media law. The author will be happy to develop the discussion in this area”

Deepfakes on Trial: a Call to Expand the Trial Judge’S Gatekeeping Role to Protect Legal Proceedings from Technological Fakery
Delfino, Rebecca, Deepfakes on Trial: a Call to Expand the Trial Judge’S Gatekeeping Role to Protect Legal Proceedings from Technological Fakery (February 10, 2022). Available at SSRN: https://ssrn.com/abstract=4032094 or http://dx.doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.4032094
“Picture this: You are arrested and accused of a serious crime, like carjacking, assault with a deadly weapon, or child abuse. The only evidence against you is a cellphone video showing the act of violence. To the naked eye, the perpetrator on the video is you. But you are innocent. The video is a “deepfake” – an audiovisual recording created using readily available Artificial Intelligence technology that allows anyone with a smartphone to believably map one person’s movements and words onto another person’s face. How will you prove the video is deepfake in court? And, who—the judge or the jury–gets to decide if it’s fake? The law does not provide clear answers. But this much is certain–deepfake evidence is an emerging threat to our justice system’s truth-seeking function. Deepfakes will invade court proceedings from several directions—parties may fabricate evidence to win a civil action, governmental actors may rely on deepfakes to secure criminal convictions, or lawyers may purposely exploit juror bias and skepticism about what is real. Currently, no evidentiary procedure explicitly governs the presentation of deepfake evidence in court. The existing legal standards governing the authentication of evidence are inadequate because the rules were developed before the advent of deepfake technology. As a result, they do not solve the urgent problems of–how to show a video is fake and how to show it isn’t. In addition, although in the last several years, legal scholarship and the popular news media have addressed certain facets of deepfakes, there has been no commentary on the procedural aspects of deepfake evidence in court. Absent from the discussion is who gets to decide whether a deepfake is authentic. This article addresses the matters that prior academic scholarship about deepfakes obscures. It is the first to propose a new rule of evidence reflecting a unique reallocation of the fact-determining responsibilities between the jury and the judge, treating the question of deepfake authenticity as one for the court to decide as part of an expanded gatekeeping function under the rules of evidence. Confronting deepfakes evidence in legal proceedings demands that courts and lawyers use imagination and creativity to navigate pitfalls of proof and manage a jury’s doubts and distrust about what is real. Your freedom may depend on how we meet these challenges.”
