Why I teach encryption.
Joseph
Menn reports:
Apple Inc dropped plans to let iPhone users fully encrypt backups of their devices in the company’s iCloud service after the FBI complained that the move would harm investigations, six sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.
The tech giant’s reversal, about two years ago, has not previously been reported.
Would this change if the defendants were covered
by the GDPR or CCPA?
Facebook,
Twitter hold evidence that could save people from prison. And they’re
not giving it up
By
the time the FBI
raided Omar
Ameen’s Sacramento apartment in August 2018, his extradition back
to Iraq seemed all but inevitable.
… Prosecutors
must show only probable cause to secure his extradition, which would
lead to Iraqi authorities conducting a criminal trial. It’s a fate
Ameen’s defenders say would undoubtedly lead to his execution.
But
new evidence has been unearthed that his attorneys say will show he
was 600 miles away from Rawah at the time of the killing.
Additionally, an Islamic State Twitter account that the company
suspended, as well as a suspended Facebook account, could be
instrumental in proving Ameen’s innocence.
But
the social media giants are refusing to cooperate.
In
Ameen’s case and a growing list of other criminal cases, attorneys
for Facebook, Twitter and other social networks are citing the Stored
Communications Act —
a three-decade-old privacy law — to withhold information that might
help prove the innocence of Ameen and other defendants.

Supreme
Court declines to hear Facebook facial recognition case
The Supreme Court on Tuesday declined to take up a
high-profile court battle over whether users can sue Facebook for
using facial recognition technology on their photos without proper
consent.
The high court rejected Facebook's bid to review
the case, meaning the social media giant will likely have to face the
multibillion-dollar class-action lawsuit over whether it violated an
Illinois privacy law.
The case, Facebook vs. Patel, hinges on a question
over whether Facebook violated Illinois law when it implemented a
photo-tagging feature that recognized users' faces and suggested
their names without obtaining adequate consent. Facebook argued to
the Supreme Court that the class-action case should not be allowed to
proceed because the group of users have not proven that the alleged
privacy violation resulted in "real-world harm."
If you are still doing it the old-fashioned way,
are you negligent?

The

Black’s overview
of what free and fee-based legal research tools lawyers are using –
and yes, a number of lawyers continue to use print collections as
well as CD-ROMs.
