XR technologies couldn't function w/o data from people’s bodies, which can pose privacy risks. But legally speaking, is this data “biometric”? It’s complicated! I teamed up w/@tatiianarice and @DanielBerrick to explore this question in a new blog post: https://t.co/RM1jGr1jvX

[Tatiana Rice @tatiianarice]

It’s finally here! FPF dives deep into how biometric laws apply to emerging tech that collect varying forms of body-based data. While these "old laws" are likely to apply to this new tech, policymakers should be wary of conflating these different risks. https://t.co/UIPbh0pF9d

Not to be outdone, the House E&C just scheduled a markup on the same day as Senate Commerce's markup of #KOSA and #COPPA 2.0. But no sign of privacy legislation... https://t.co/vwSrDgkZy6

New - Biden strongly called on Senate to pass kids online safety legislation saying “pass it” 5 times in a speech today - mentioning the role social media plays in harming kids’ mental health. Senate Commerce will vote on kids bills thurs. @POLITICOPro https://t.co/IHgMuWgLPK

🩺In case you hadn't heard, "health privacy...[is] a top priority for the @FTC." And there's no entity better situated to tell you what to take away from @FTC's recent spate of enforcement actions in the health data space than, well...the @FTC themselves: https://t.co/u5RkVuqIMl.

In WA State, 'My Health, My Data's' restrictions on the geofencing of entities that provide in-person health care services took effect yesterday. I enjoyed speaking with @alvittorio about the potential impact of this restriction, & similar restrictions in other states, for @BLaw.

[BBB National Programs @BBB_NtlPrograms]

Yesterday, the @FTC and the @HHSGov sent a warning letter to nearly 130 hospitals and health systems cautioning them about their data privacy and security practices.

White House announcement on voluntary commitments by American AI companies is a good reminder that soft law solutions are often the best option.

The administration should take the W, and build on it, rather than jumping straight to new legislation.

The European Commission adopted its adequacy decision for the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework Monday, but even as the announcement was made, the new framework — which enters into force 11 July — is poised to face a legal challenge.

[Joe Duball @jduballreports]

HAPPY MONDAY. The EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework is going to be finalized today, per @clothildegouj. EU taking care of their adequacy decision before their summer break and on time as @dreynders alluded to in months prior. U.S. stood up its commitments recently.
