Reminds me of a gem of a story about a Pump-n-Dump scheme run by T. Boone Pickens' son in the early 2000s. THREAD

#Deepfakes, #lies, #fakenews, even a Foucault gif: today's #blog has everything. As we close in on the end of 2019, read about our perception crisis, and why seeing shouldn't always mean believing.

After a hiatus to move to the #UK (more later), our #blog is back! Today, we look at #standing in #databreach lawsuits. What kind of harm is enough to state a claim under #Spokeo? That answer may be changing, thanks to a Circuit Split. Read on for more

Thesis: Written constitutions prevent antidemocratic usurpation and manipulation of political structures.

Contradiction: Um...America?

Sublate: Let’s just watch GBBO.

@FrankPasquale Zuboff largely ignores Marx in favor of Polyani and Durkheim; Bastiani sticks to all Marx all the time. But a social critique of technology (or τέχνη) that ignores Adorno, Marcuse, or even Weber isn't holistic enough to capture the real issues.

We need more than a new law. We need to change how we think about privacy. (Α kind of μετάνοια). That can’t occur until we believe privacy is important enough to think about in the first place.

It’s an interesting facet of present times that *losing* five billion dollars in an afternoon comes across as little more than a slap on the wrist. (Note: I know that the fine has to be approved by DOJ first. It will be.)

Google’s privacy policy over 20 years...

My how you’ve grown!

[James J. Ward @PrivacyLaw_JJW]

Some comments and analysis from me in a great @cwarzel and @ngusletter piece in @nytimes on Google’s shifting views on privacy over the years. Spoilers: they don’t like it, and the changes trace the growth of mass surveillance and profiling as a commercial strategy.

@PrivacyLaw_JJW @cwarzel THIS.

@BLaw Wait, isn't it "AvenattiRules" or "AvenattiRulez?" I'm pretty sure it's one of those. Try adding a '1' or a '!' at the end.

@charlesarthur But that’s the whole point: it’s a very conscious emulation of WeChat, which is the only company you need to examine to understand Facebook’s ten year plan. WhatsApp, gaming, now payments — Facebook’s goal isn’t to be Google; it’s to be Tencent.

I’ve read ten different articles about Facebook’s new cryptocurrency today and the only thing I’ve concluded is that you shouldn’t buy it if you’re a Capricorn. https://t.co/z580cWcB6a

This is literally why I partnered with @PrivacyLaw_JJW.

Buzzfeed articles won’t make you a Data Strategy & Data Privacy Law expert.

Building a data strategy that is legally compliant is a complicated business. Treat it as such.

@omertene @gabrielazanfir @EUstaran @tavistafford My guess is that some combination of @timberners_lee and others' "pod" approach combined with a certified, trusted "verify and process" API will end up serving the intermediary function the banners now fill. It'll happen in fits and starts.
