Here are @DCNorg's formal comments to @AGBecerra regarding the draft CCPA regulations. digitalcontentnext.org/wp-content/upl…
@DCNorg @AGBecerra In our comments, we say this about browser-signals (DNT) called for in law. "These signals can be useful for consumers as they are persistent and easy to use. They can also be useful for consumer-facing companies as the signals are sent in real-time to all downstream companies."
The @Recode team published this reply by me nearly 4yrs ago, along w a few other related pieces, suggesting Do Not Track wasn’t dead and would be back. Now it’s in the new California privacy law. ht @pkafka @karaswisher @waltmossberg for the ink. vox.com/2016/1/12/1158…
I also wrote support here on IAPP. Same problem then, needed a simple, easy to use and persistent choice mechanism. iapp.org/news/a/its-tim…
And again on Recode, now published on parent Vox, after Verizon was caught respawning tracking cookies. vox.com/2015/1/15/1155…
Here in the WSJ around Facebook’s abuse of users’ trust. Again 2014, Facebook’s moves here are now documented in antitrust research and part of global investigations. blogs.wsj.com/cmo/2014/06/20…
Ultimately industry standing up to the ad tech lobby complex, led by Facebook, Google and tech’s key trade groups is a necessity. It’s in the California law. It’s in the regulations. Watch this space next few months. Significant welfare at play. mediapost.com/publications/a…
Whether companies can harvest data across our digital lives (and offline with gps in our pockets) w/out real choice or alignment with expectations is most critical tech issue. And global regulators are now finally recognizing connection between data and competition policy. Voila.

Since it's the result day after public UK vote, it's worth reminding the last major result day ("Brexit" referendum) was day Kogan signed Facebook's agreement and NDA about Facebook data he had taken and sold to Cambridge Analytica (used a few months later in '16 US election).
Facebook called it a "coincidence" as to the timing despite that being the day when the risk of any public disclosure dramatically increased for Facebook. It was only weeks after Facebook had to significantly change "Trending" due to political concerns and pressures.
and just because you can't make this up, a reminder Kogan's co-signatory, Joseph Chanceller, and partner on the deal to sell the data to Cambridge Analytica had been hired and put under a Facebook NDA seven months earlier (Nov 9, 2015).

Looks like Facebook will get away with effectively chilling any former employees, independent watchdogs and even journalists like @carolecadwalla...Facebook can send its “thank you note” to whomever leaked the Six4Three court docs (assuming that was an external party).
@carolecadwalla Here is how Facebook positioned the six4three leaked docs in its arguments to win this case. same docs which were handed off to @DamianCollins in @CommonsCMS hearings Nov 2018. Lots of missing and curious pages in depositions, exhibits.
@carolecadwalla @DamianCollins @CommonsCMS More on it. Again, this involves a company, Facebook, notoriously secretive with employees' NDAs which have mostly frozen any leaking on already grotesque activities. Lawsuit is legitimate and one of only hopes after Facebook rolled other regulators.

Finally. A smart piece on the real impact of Apple leading industry on privacy and why new laws may force Google to actually care about users thereby raising all boats for those who respect and provide real value to users. /1
Only thing missing in piece is that Google and Facebook have also lost their ability to track users across the web in many cases due to Apple’s Intelligent Tracking Prevention. This is also a good outcome. /2
Often in reports like this and with ad tech lobby you’ll see intentional confusion as if limitations of tracking users across the web impacts all “targeting” rather than a very narrow type of surveillance which has unfortunately become the norm and the source of the backlash. /3

New:
@ProjectSouth & Yulio Castro’s widow sued ICE for illegally withholding #FOIA records about Yulio’s death after becoming ill at the Stewart Detention Center in GA.

Here’s Complaint, filed with @ashahshahani and her team and attorney Brian Spears: projectsouth.org/wp-content/upl…
After filing suit, @ProjectSouth got the Detainee Death Report ICE has inexplicably failed to post to its website.

Here are some key points:
The review includes evidence of a practice of failing to comply with the Immigrant Health Services Corps (IHSC)’s guidelines for people suffering from hypertension.

It’s clear why: Doing so would trigger IHSC’s Special MedicalNeeds Patients Policy & increase cost of care.

Schumer may actually have some sense left. He actually wants this investigated, which it should be. Part of China’s plan is to take over US railways.

Politicians in these cities already sold out their residents to #China railways:

Los Angeles
Philly
Boston
Chicago
chicagotribune.com/business/ct-bi…
And from 2018:

#China undercuts competitors and forces other companies out of business so they can dominate the market and win contracts.

Same thing they’re attempting with #Huawei and #5G.

Here in the United States, banks are required to meet the credit needs of the communities where they do business, under the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977. Penalties for violating the act can include temporarily freezing a bank's asset growth or denying all merger requests.
Some consider the law to be the last great policy of the Civil Rights era, in line with the Civil Rights Act (1964), Voting Rights Act (1965), Fair Housing Act (1968), Equal Credit Opportunity Act (1974). Notice the gradual expansion from political rights to economic rights?
The Community Reinvestment Act or CRA went beyond merely outlawing "redlining" -- the practice of banks avoiding making loans to certain neighborhoods with a clear racial pattern as a result of systematic policies and real estate industry practices. nybooks.com/articles/2018/…

Before Lori Lightfoot released the results of the Chicago Police Accountability Task Force—which Lightfoot chaired—she called me and my attorney, to ask us our thoughts on how long the city could/should wait to release videos of police shootings. (1/x)
We told Lightfoot that we were fairly certain the Illinois FOIA law applies to those “documents” just like everything else. I.e., we believed CPD has just two weeks after a shooting—of a member of the public by a cop—to release all the video they have of it. (2/x)
As I remember, Lightfoot pushed back at our suggestion. Don’t we want to allow time for the IPRA (back then it was IPRA) investigation? she asked. We said that, if shown sufficient evidence of an ongoing investigation, we might be convinced to wait a bit to sue for records. (3/x)

PMB yesterday re-ignited a controversy that has been on for at least 10 years. i.e. Did previous administrations spend or did not spend $16 billion on power between 1999 and 2007. Now if you have been reading the news, you might be confused as to who to believe. #$16Billion
President Buhari said $15 Billion was spent, Ex President Obasanjo said it was only $3.7 Billion spent out of $10 Billion, and one other ex law maker said no it was $13.2 Billion. So who do we believe and more importantly, how much was spent? #$16Billion
TBH, a review of existing materials on power sector spending probe between 1999 – 2015 by Govt sources (like NASS probes) & independent sources (like SERAP) will reveal a cesspool of corruption. One that clearly shows that Billions of $ was spent to generate darkness. #$16Billion
