Trying to explain CCPA to my students.
Ready, Set,
Sustain: Six Steps Toward CCPA Compliance
The
California
Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) is
the first major piece of United States privacy legislation, but it
won’t be the last. There are already similar bills in the works in
Washington, Hawaii, Massachusetts, New Mexico, Rhode Island and
Maryland. Introduced on June 28, 2018, the CCPA adopts much of its
framework from the European Union General Data Protection Regulation
(GDPR) – although there are some subtle differences. For example,
the CCPA extends its protections to households and devices, not just
individuals, and includes the right to opt-out of the sale of
personal information.
… Our
research
suggests
a lot of companies were blindsided by how much time and money it
takes to sustain compliance. With less than four months until the
California Consumer Privacy Act goes into effect on January 1, 2020,
this article provides actionable steps for how to work toward a
sustainable compliance program.

Professor
Paul Schwartz and I have posted
the black letter text of the American Law Institute
(ALI), Principles
of the Law, Data Privacy.
Professor Paul Schwartz and I were co-reporters on the project.
Earlier this year, I wrote a post
about our completion of the project.
According to the ALI
press release:
“The Principles seek to provide a set of best practices for
entities that collect and control data concerning individuals and
guidance for a variety of parties at the federal, state, and local
levels, including legislators, attorneys general, and administrative
agency officials.”

Alexa's
'Certified for Humans' wants to eliminate smart-home headaches
Amazon wants you to
be able to set up your smart home even if you don't know anything
about tech.
… To achieve the certification, devices need
to use frustration-free setup. This allows Alexa to share your Wi-Fi
credentials so you don't have to renter the info. The device needs
to allow over-the-air updates to happen in the background. Finally,
you need to be able to setup and control the devices with the Alexa
app.

The
Internet Leads in Advertising by a Crazy Wide Margin
… Zenith
Media's Advertising Expenditure Forecasts June 2019 covers
the world, looks at data from 2007 to 2018, and forecasts it clearly:
in a couple of years, digital/online ad spending will account for 52
percent of all the dollars spent to get your attention.
… TV
is a distant second place at 27 percent of advertising spending
projected for 2021. After that comes an even more precipitous drop.
The third place goes to outdoor ads! That means billboards will get
more money spent on them than newspapers (6 percent), radio (5
percent), or magazines (3 percent).

Microsoft
launches its AI presentation coach for PowerPoint
A
few months ago, Microsoft
announced
that
PowerPoint would soon get an AI-powered presentation coach that could
help you prepare for that important next presentation by giving you
immediate feedback. Today, the company is launching
this
new tool, starting with the web version of PowerPoint.
… The
new PowerPoint Presentation Coach aims to take the hassle out of
practicing. In its current version, the tool looks at three things:
pace, slide reading and word choice. Pace is pretty self-explanatory
and looks at how fast or slow somebody is speaking. The “slide
reading” feature detects when you are simply reading the words from
your slides word for word. Nobody wants to sit through that kind of
presentation. The “word choice” tool doesn’t just detect how
often you say “um,” “ah,” “actually” or “basically,”
it also gives you feedback when you are using culturally insensitive
phrases like “you guys” or “best man for the job.”
