Police to Livestream Ring Camera Footage of Mississippi Residents
Police in Mississippi are testing a program in which they can livestream video from Ring cameras installed at private homes and businesses. The move is sounding an alarm bell with the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and other privacy advocates who have long disapproved of the Amazon-owned company’s alliance with law enforcement.
The program in Jackson, Miss., to use the Ring door cameras as part of surveillance efforts, is being touted as a new way to help police fight rising crime, according to a report in the Jackson Free Press.
Police have partnered with two technology companies – Jackson-based tech consulting company PILEUM and Georgia-based cloud services provider Fusus – to allow law enforcement to access private Ring camera surveillance of residents or businesses who agreed to participate in the 45-day program. If private participants allow, the city now has permission to access those cameras through the platform, and could use the data collected to track criminal activity.
The ACLU, however, called the launch of the program its “worst fears” being “confirmed,” in a Tuesday blog post by ACLU policy analyst Matthew Guariglia.

GDPR lawsuit against Oracle and Salesforce moves forward
The data processing policies and practices of two of the world’s largest software companies, Salesforce and Oracle, will come under scrutiny in the High Court of England and Wales in the biggest digital privacy class action lawsuit ever filed.
The suit, filed by privacy campaigner and data protection specialist Rebecca Rumbul, is seeking damages that have been estimated in excess of £10bn, which could conceivably lead to awards of £500 for every internet user in the UK. A parallel suit in the Netherlands backed by a Dutch group called The Privacy Collective Foundation could take the total damages to more than €15bn.

Ten steps to ethics-based governance of AI in health care
Artificial intelligence has the potential to transform health care. It can enable health care professionals to analyze health data quickly and precisely, and lead to better detection, treatment, and prevention of a multitude of physical and mental health issues.
Artificial intelligence integrated with virtual care — telemedicine and digital health — interventions are playing a vital role in responding to Covid-19. Penn Medicine, for example, has designed a Covid-19 chatbot to stratify patients and facilitate triage. Penn is also using machine learning to identify patients at risk for sepsis.
The University of California, San Diego, health system is applying AI by using machine learning to augment lung imaging analyses for detecting pneumonia in chest X-rays to identify patients likely to have Covid-19 complications. The U.S. Veterans Health Administration is piloting an AI tool to predict Covid-19 outcomes such as length of hospitalization and death. Mass General Brigham developed a Covid-19 screener chatbot to rapidly stratify sick patients, facilitate triage of patients to appropriate care settings, and alleviate the workload on contact centers.
… . A data governance framework based on the following 10 steps can assist health care systems embrace artificial intelligence applications in ways that reduces ethical risks to patients, providers, and payers.

Understanding Blockchain: A Review of FPF’s Oct. 29th Digital Data Flows Masterclass
On 29 October 2020, Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB and Future of Privacy Forum (FPF) hosted the eight Digital Data Flows Masterclass. The masterclass on blockchain technology completes the VUB-FPF Digital Data Flows Masterclass series.
The most recent masterclass explored the basics of how blockchain technologies work, including established and proposed use cases, which were then evaluated through the lens of privacy and data protection.
