This does not make sense to me. Yes, you can encrypt the contents of a message on the sender’s device and not decrypt it until it arrives on the recipient’s device. However, you can’t encrypt the address or there is no way to deliver the message. Also you can’t encrypt the sender’s id without being unable to deliver requests for retransmission of garbled packets or other housekeeping messages. What am I missing?
Consumer Privacy Rests on Encryption Lawsuit: WhatsApp’s Legal Battle in India
... The WhatsApp case centers around Indian regulations that require WhatsApp, and other messaging services, to trace user messages back to the authors of those messages. The tracing requirement is limited to certain government purposes, but to fulfill the requirement, WhatsApp says it must break its security mechanism of encrypting user content.

Big Tech Privacy Moves Spur Companies to Amass Customer Data
Marketers are staging sweepstakes, quizzes and events to gather people’s personal information and build detailed profiles
New privacy protections put in place by tech giants and governments are threatening the flow of user data that companies rely on to target consumers with online ads.
As a result, companies are taking matters into their own hands. Across nearly every sector, from brewers to fast-food chains to makers of consumer products, marketers are rushing to collect their own information on consumers, seeking to build millions of detailed customer profiles.
… Avocados From Mexico, a nonprofit marketing organization that represents avocado growers and packers, is encouraging people to submit grocery receipts to earn points exchangeable for avocado-themed sportswear.
It is also conducting a contest for the chance to win a truck. To enter, consumers scan QR codes on in-store displays and enter their name, birthday, email and phone number.
“We have a limited window to figure this out, and everybody’s scrambling” to do so, said Ivonne Kinser, vice president of marketing for the avocado group. It has managed to capture roughly 50 million device IDs—the numbers associated with mobile devices—and is working to link them to names and email addresses. The group plans to use the customer information for ad targeting and to make its ads more relevant to its customers.
Interesting what you can do with the proper nudge. How soon will the rest catch up with the leaders?
How Courts Embraced Technology, Met the Pandemic Challenge, and Revolutionized Their Operations
Pew – “What the changes mean for the millions of people who interact with the civil legal system each year—and what remains to be done… To begin to assess whether, and to what extent, the rapid improvements in court technology undertaken in 2020 and 2021 made the civil legal system easier to navigate, The Pew Charitable Trusts examined pandemic-related emergency orders issued by the supreme courts of all 50 states and Washington, D.C. The researchers supplemented that review with an analysis of court approaches to virtual hearings, e-filing, and digital notarization, with a focus on how these tools affected litigants in three of the most common types of civil cases: debt claims, evictions, and child support…”

Coding and Collaboration: Data Analytics in the Law School Classroom
Alexander, Charlotte and Iannarone, Nicole G., Coding and Collaboration: Data Analytics in the Law School Classroom (June 2021). Forthcoming, Transactions: Tennessee Journal of Business Law, Available at SSRN: https://ssrn.com/abstract=3965047 or http://dx.doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.3965047
“Technological advances provide opportunities for lawyers to deliver sophisticated – and cost effective – legal advice. A basic understanding of the emerging field of legal analytics, which employs computational and statistical modeling, analysis, and visualization of legal data to accomplish both descriptive and predictive goals, helps lawyers better serve their clients while meeting their ethical responsibility to understand the benefits and risks of technology in law practice. Lawyers and technologists have much to learn from each other and their respective fields. They must also learn to collaborate. In this session at the 2021 Emory Transactional Law & Skills Conference, we provided an overview of a co-taught Legal Analytics course that brought together law and master’s level computational analytics students to teach and learn from each other as they approached a real-world analytics problem. For analytics students, the course provided an introduction to the U.S. legal system and legal reasoning, the types of legal materials that analytics projects might analyze, and the problems and questions present in the law. For law students, the course offered an introduction to basic computer coding, as well as to the theory and applications of text mining, natural language processing, machine learning and other methods for managing and analyzing unstructured data such as that found in legal documents. Working in teams, students learned and deployed analytics skills to extract information from large numbers of legal documents, identify patterns, and attempt to predict future outcomes. Our remarks describe the collaborative, experiential approach taken in delivering the course material and student learning outcomes as student teams worked together to apply data analytics tools to derive insight from FINRA securities arbitration awards. “
