5 ways to finally fix data privacy in America

As a new administration enters the White House, we have the chance to finally fix privacy in America. Short of passing a national privacy law (which the majority of Americans want), we need action on data privacy. We need changes enacted swiftly and without delay. Both consumers and businesses deserve consistency and clarity.

… In that spirit, here are five ideas to make privacy work for consumers and businesses. A couple of them could likely even be mandated by Executive Order.

1. Make privacy opt-in

2. Require plain English privacy policies

3. Mandate privacy labels

4. Give data an expiration date

5. Make protecting data cheaper than abusing it

It’s obvious, isn’t it?

Consider the AI Influence on Medical Liability

Artificial Intelligence (AI) continues to evolve and to incorporate its way into our lives. Versions of AI now routinely tell Americans where to eat, what routes to take, and what movies to watch. Artificial Intelligence is also making in-roads into medical decision-making, as diagnosis and treatment recommendations become more personalized. That has raised concerns from some commentators, who have suggested that America’s tort law system could prove a problematic fit with medical AI. If jurors see the act of listening to the computer as something that deviates from a doctor’s judgment and standard of care, than machine-centered advice could increase or complicate medical liability risk.

Researchers (Price, Gehrke & Cohen, 2021) looked at that question of whether juror attitudes might be a barrier to reliance on medical AI. The article, “How Much Can Potential Jurors Tell Us About Liability for Medical Artificial Intelligence?” focused on the circumstances under which jurors would hold a physician liable for following or not following an AI recommendation.

Not sure I agree, but watch and judge for yourself.

WHAT IF ROBOTS WERE JUST LIKE US? It’s a question movies have been asking since Fritz Lang’s Metropolis. The idea took on renewed interest in the tech-obsessed 1980s with The Terminator and Blade Runner, but its apex might just be the closest thing we ever got to a collaboration between two of the greatest minds in sci-fi cinema: STEVEN SPEILBERG AND STANLEY KUBRICK.

Evidence of actual harm, not risk of harm. It’s the time between breach and harm that concerns me.

Data Breach Defense

David Oberly of Blank Rome writes:

Today, data breaches continue to proliferate at a rapid pace, often spurring consumer class action litigation in their wake. Oftentimes, a successful data breach suit can empty a corporate defendant’s coffers. For example, Equifax was recently forced to shell out $575 million to settle a major data breach class action suit stemming from its 2017 mega-breach that impacted over 100 million individuals. Consequently, companies that handle consumer personal data must be prepared to forcefully defend such high-stakes, bet-the-company litigation.

Fortunately, Article III standing serves as a viable defense to obtain dispositive dismissals from a wide range of data breach class actions in federal court. While a current circuit split exists over the threshold for establishing standing in such cases, the standard articulated by the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals provides a significant opportunity for defendants to completely dispose of litigation at the pleading stage based on an absence of constitutional standing.

Police Chief Demands Holes In Encryption Because Some Cops Decided To Participate In The DC Insurrection

Tim Cushing writes:

As more evidence comes to light showing a disturbing amount of law enforcement participation in the January 6th attack on the Capitol, police departments around the nation are finally being forced to face something they’ve ignored for far too long.

The law enforcement officers who participated in the insurrection attacked officers attempting to defend the building, or, at the very least, did nothing to discourage the lawless actions occurring all around them. The officers that went to DC and engaged in a riot aren’t an anomaly.

[…]

Now that agencies are finally confronting their in-house white supremacist/militia problem, they’re asking for everyone to be made less secure so they can handle the problem that’s been hiding in plain sight for years.

GLOBAL PRIVACY CONTROL WANTS TO SUCCEED WHERE DO NOT TRACK FAILED

On today’s internet, information is nearly impossible to control. It’s become commonplace for a single website visit to spill over into targeted ads (often for something you’ve already bought) or unexpectedly canny spam emails. It’s assumed that information from your browsing history will be available to target your Instagram ads, and despite nominal commitments to privacy, tech companies have mostly given up trying to stop those data flows.

Privacy groups are hoping that a new standard, called Global Privacy Control, will change that. It’s designed as a global opt out, a general signal that users want as little data collection and sharing as possible. In particular, the GPC standard will let users signal that they don’t want services to share their data with third-party data brokers, something that is outside the reach of most modern privacy tools. The team hopes that this new signal will give users a way to protect their data after it’s been collected and ensure personal information doesn’t travel too far.

… The GPC standard sprang from a powerful but little-noticed provision in the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), which was strengthened further with the passage of the California Privacy Rights Act in November. A provision in the law gives Californians the right to opt out of having their personal information sold by the sites they visit. Crucially, the law interprets “sell” as including any exchange of value, which could include being read broadly enough to go beyond outright data broker sales and into the endemic tracking pixels that power much of the advertising you see online.

Do they pay more attention to adsthan I do?

https://www.wired.com/story/facebook-ad-targeting-us-military/

Facebook Ad Services Let Anyone Target US Military Personnel

THE SPREAD OF misinformation on social media platforms has fueled division, stoked violence, and reshaped geopolitics in recent years. Targeted ads have become a major battleground, with bad actors strategically distributing misleading information or ensnaring unassuming users in scams. Facebook has worked to eliminate or redefine certain targeting categories as part of a broader effort to address these threats. But despite warnings from researchers, its ad system still lets anyone target a massive array of populations and groups—including campaigns directed at United States military personnel. Currently categories for major branches include “Army,” “Air Force,” and “National Guard,” along with much narrower categories like “United States Air Force Security Forces.”

At first blush it may seem innocuous that you can target ads at these groups as easily as you can most other organizations. But independent security researcher Andrea Downing says the stakes are much higher should active duty members of the US military—many of whom would likely get caught up in broader Facebook targeting of this sort—face misinformation online that could impact their understanding of world events or expose them to scams.

Researchers propose AI system that summarizes historical texts

Summarizing historical text can help people gather, organize, and share knowledge, but cultural and linguistic changes and the sheer volume of archives can make interpreting historical text challenging even for experts. Researchers at the University of Sheffield, Beihang University, and the Open University in the U.K. recently attempted to tackle this problem using AI and machine learning techniques. They say their approach, which can summarize historical documents written in German and Chinese, provides a strong baseline for future studies.

Digital Age Samaritans

Kaufman, Zachary D., Digital Age Samaritans (December 1, 2020). Boston College Law Review, Vol. 62, No. 4, Forthcoming, Available at SSRN: https://ssrn.com/abstract=3741017

“Modern technology enables people to view, document, and share evidence of crimes contemporaneously or soon after commission. Electronic transmission of this material — including through social media and mobile devices — raises legal, moral, and practical questions about spectators’ responsibilities. In the digital age, will these actors be bystanders or upstanders? What role can and should the law play in shaping their behavior? This Article argues that certain witnesses who are not physically present at the scene of a crime should be held criminally accountable for failing to report specified violent offenses. Focusing on rape, police brutality, and other misconduct, this Article demonstrates that recent technological innovations create new opportunities and challenges to pursue justice and accountability. Such culpability centers on “Bad Samaritan laws”: statutes that impose a legal duty to assist others in peril through intervening directly (also known as “the duty to rescue”) or notifying authorities (also known as “the duty to report”). However, many of these antiquated laws arguably apply only to witnesses who are physically present, which limits their potential effectiveness today. Not all virtual witnesses should be subject to liability. To consider which categories of actors may warrant criminal punishment, this Article introduces a novel typology of bystanders and upstanders in the digital age. This typology draws on an original case study of the first known sexual crime livestreamed in the United States by a third party, which more than 700 people viewed. Harnessing insights from that case study and other episodes, the Article recommends that legislators should modernize, refine, and proliferate Bad Samaritan laws and that law enforcement should enforce these statutes or leverage them to obtain witness testimony. To that end, the Article proposes a model duty-to-report statute that includes features such as applicability to virtual presence and reasoned exemptions for noncompliance.”

Fast Company – “In the days after the insurrection at the Capitol building, security was tighter than usual. On the phone with Senator Mark Warner, I could hear his driver trying to explain to a guard that he had the senator with him. Yeah, tell him he’s good, the guard told the driver as he pointed him to another entrance. “The fact that I’m having this conversation with you right now is a little surreal as we get redirected across Capitol Square and there are hundreds of soldiers with long guns all over—the Capitol is an armed camp,” he says. “And anyone who thinks that this terrorist attack wasn’t fomented on these social media platforms is just not aware.” The platforms have been used to incite violence around the world, he says, noting in particular the genocidal Facebook campaign in Myanmar against the Muslim minority group, the Rohingya. “Everyone basically understands that there needs to be some reform,” he says. Warner and other legislators are trying to figure out what to do about the rampant disinformation on the web that lead thousands to bash in the windows and doors of the Capitol. There is also a long standing concern over the bullying and harassment that takes place on social platforms. But there are political divides over exactly how the internet should be regulated, particularly as it relates to free speech. While regulators see the urgent need for a change in how social media companies are allowed to operate, it’s not clear that legislation will come quickly…”

Social Media: Misinformation and Content Moderation Issues for Congress

CRS Report. Social Media: Misinformation and Content Moderation Issues for Congress, January 27, 2021: “Social media platforms disseminate information quickly to billions of global users. The Pew Research Center estimates that in 2019, 72% of U.S. adults used at least one social media site and that the majority of users visited the site at least once a week. Some Members of Congress are concerned about the spread of misinformation (i.e., incorrect or inaccurate information) on social media platforms and are exploring how it can be addressed by companies that operate social media sites. Other Members are concerned that social media operators’ content moderation practices may suppress speech. Both perspectives have focused on Section 230 of the Communications Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C. §230), enacted as part of the Communications Decency Act of 1996, which broadly protects operators of “interactive computer services” from liability for publishing, removing, or restricting access to another’s content. Social media platforms enable users to create individual profiles, form networks, produce content by posting text, images, or videos, and interact with content by commenting on and sharing it with others. Social media operators may moderate the content posted on their sites by allowing certain posts and not others. They prohibit users from posting content that violates copyright law or solicits illegal activity, and some maintain policies that prohibit objectionable content (e.g., certain sexual or violent content) or content that does not contribute to the community or service that they wish to provide. As private companies, social media operators can determine what content is allowed on their sites, and content moderation decisions could be protected under the First Amendment. However, operators’ content moderation practices have created unease that these companies play an outsized role in determining what speech is allowed on their sites, with some commentators stating that operators are infringing on users’ First Amendment rights by censoring speech…”

Utah tests the waters in turning online catfishing into a criminal act

… House Bill 239, introduced by Rep. Karianne Lisonbee, could be of more relevance to the general public if accepted into law, and could become a blueprint for other states to follow. This proposed legislation tackles online impersonation, also known as catfishing, and seeks to make these activities criminal.

Titled, "Online Impersonation Prohibition," the bill proposes legal consequences for people that "use the name or persona of an individual" without consent.

This could include creating a fake social media account or website, posting or sending messages, the use of existing photos and information belonging to someone else, and other activities that encourage "reasonable belief" in a recipient that the user is genuine.

… To put it simply, Apple will soon require apps to get the user’s permission before tracking their data. That might sound obvious, but it’s quietly revolutionary and is ruffling feathers across the entire industry.

Anyway, the actual news. Apple continued its privacy offensive today by releasing an in-depth (and cute) whitepaper. Called A Day in the Life of Your Data, it analyzes how apps track people, something it explores through the lens of a father and daughter visiting a park.

A lot of people are ready to go back to the office once it’s safe.” Only about 1 in 10 companies expect all employees to return to their pre-pandemic work arrangements, according to a new survey. The National Association for Business Economics found that just 11 percent of survey respondents expect all staff members at their companies to return eventually. Around 65 percent of companies have allowed “most” or “all” of their staff members to work from home during the pandemic, and about half of respondents said they plan to continue the policies until the second half of the year. “For the most part, companies that are able to provide work-from-home are doing so and are continuing to do so,” said Andrew Challenger, vice president of the executive outplacement and coaching firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas.

Why Washington state could finally pass data privacy laws with a bill backed by the tech industry

Washington state will once again try to pass data privacy regulations akin to Europe and California’s laws this year — and the third time could be the charm, according to Reuven Carlyle, the state senator who has sponsored the legislation for three years running.

The Washington Privacy Act grants consumers the right to access, transfer, correct, and delete the data that companies such as Facebook or Google hold on them. Consumers can also opt-out of targeted advertising and the sale of their personal data under the legislation.

… Carlyle believes that his third-generation bill will succeed where previous attempts have failed due to support from the tech industry and stronger enforcement authority for the attorney general. Public policy representatives from Microsoft and the Washington Technology Industry Association (WTIA) testified in support of the bill during a virtual hearing this month.

The US should not agree to ban the use or development of autonomous weapons powered by artificial intelligence (AI) software, a government-appointed panel has said in a draft report for Congress.

… Its vice-chairman, Robert Work, a former deputy secretary of defense, said autonomous weapons are expected to make fewer mistakes than humans do in battle, leading to reduced casualties or skirmishes caused by target misidentification.

“It is a moral imperative to at least pursue this hypothesis,” he said.

Why the OECD wants to calculate the AI compute needs of national governments

The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) wants to help national governments understand their AI compute demand needs. As part of the work, the multinational economic policy group is creating a task force that draws together data from a range of sources to make it easy for policymakers to understand how their investment strategy compares to that of other nations. Alongside datasets and algorithms, compute or computing power is an essential part of training predictive models.

… “Think of it this way — if no one measured resources like electricity or oil, it’d be difficult to build national and international policy around these things,” he said. “Compute is one of the key inputs to the production of AI, so if we can measure how much compute exists within a country or set of countries, we can quantify one of the factors for the AI capacity of that country.”
