It’s like all that data is pinned to a public bulletin board. How is that ‘private?’

The Great Scrape: The Clash Between Scraping and Privacy
I’m posting a new article draft with Professor Woodrow Hartzog (BU Law), The Great Scrape: The Clash Between Scraping and Privacy. We argue that “scraping” – the automated extraction of large amounts of data from the internet – is in fundamental tension with privacy. Scraping is generally anathema to the core principles of privacy that form the backbone of most privacy laws, frameworks, and codes.

Why would any government mandate the continued use of obsolete technology? It’s like insisting on horse drawn tanks.
Japan declares victory in effort to end government use of floppy disks
Japan's government has finally eliminated the use of floppy disks in all its systems, two decades since their heyday, reaching a long-awaited milestone in a campaign to modernise the bureaucracy.
By the middle of last month, the Digital Agency had scrapped all 1,034 regulations governing their use, except for one environmental stricture related to vehicle recycling.
"We have won the war on floppy disks on June 28!" Digital Minister Taro Kono, who has been vocal about wiping out fax machines [A technology that predates the Civil War! Bob] and other analogue technology in government, told Reuters in a statement on Wednesday.
AI vs young lawyers? Is “ordinary” changing?
Law Clerk vs. AI? Courthouse Test Highlights Judicial Curiosity
Law clerks and interns for federal Judge Xavier Rodriguez recently spent weeks poring over evidence from a high-profile trial on challenges to Texas’ voting and election laws, and then summarized key testimony for the court’s official findings of fact and conclusions of law.
This summer, an AI tool is doing the same thing.
While only the human-powered work will become part of the court record, Rodriguez plans to publish results on how well and how quickly an artificial intelligence tool performed the summarization and analysis compared to trained young lawyers and law students, he told Bloomberg Law.
“I am not aware of other judges doing similar experiments,” Rodriguez said in an email, “but I would be surprised if they’re not.”
A member of the Texas AI legal task force, Rodriguez is among the federal and state judges dipping their toes into how the technology can be used in and around the courtroom. The questions they’re posing were highlighted on May 28 when Judge Kevin Newsom of the US Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit wrote a concurring opinion in an otherwise mainstream insurance case floating the idea that generative AI large language models could be used to help determine the “ordinary meaning” of legal text.
