Anthology: Conceptions of Data Protection and Privacy Legal and Philosophical Perspectives
Max Planck Institute for the Study of Crime, Security and Law recently posted the following announcement on LinkedIn:
We are thrilled to announce the publication of the open access anthology “Conceptions of Data Protection and Privacy Legal and Philosophical Perspectives”, edited by Elisa Orrù and Ralf Poscher and published by Hart Publishing.
The volume is based on a conference held in July 2024 at the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Crime, Security and Law in Freiburg, which brought together data protection experts and privacy theory scholars from the USA and Europe.
The book offers a clear and concise overview of leading conceptions of data protection and privacy, exploring their social value through theoretical frameworks and European and US-American legal perspectives. It links philosophical and legal viewpoints on privacy to historical and contemporary rights struggles. It also addresses privacy challenges posed by the digital revolution, including advances in AI, and recent efforts to safeguard privacy.
Aimed at scholars, researchers, and students in law and philosophy, the book covers key theoretical and legal positions on privacy and data protection. Legal practitioners will find insights into landmark decisions of the German Federal Constitutional Court (Bundesverfassungsgericht), the European Court of Justice, the European Court of Human Rights, and the US Supreme Court. Additionally, it is invaluable for anyone seeking to understand the legal and philosophical foundations of globally influential regulations like the GDPR and the AI Act.

If it’s not double think, it’s at least Trump think.
Grant Guidelines for Libraries and Museums Take “Chilling” Political Turn Under Trump
… The Institute of Museum and Library Services is now accepting applications for its 2026 grant cycle. But this time, it has unusually specific criteria.
In cover letters accompanying the applications, the institute said it “particularly welcomes” projects that align with President Donald Trump’s vision for America.
These would include those that foster an appreciation for the country “through uplifting and positive narratives,” the agency writes, citing an executive order that attacks the Smithsonian Institution for its “divisive, race-centered ideology.” (Trump has said the museum focused too much on “how bad slavery was.”) The agency also points to an executive order calling for the end of “the anti-Christian weaponization of government” and one titled Making Federal Architecture Beautiful Again.
The solicitation marks a stark departure for the agency, whose guidelines were previously apolitical and focused on merit.
