My profile background—“la red viviente”—translates to “the living web.” In Panama’s Biomuseo, it referred to the intricately balanced ecosystem. But the sentiment holds true for our digital living web too, requiring both organic but thoughtful evolution #techlaw #digitalecosystem

My SIL who works in federal government has requested that I make it clear that this is an effort/initiative and “not actually part of government.”

Rule #1 of naming federal things: you want an acronym that can be pronounced. Dept of Government Efficiency…. really?? Wouldn’t “Dept of Efficiencies in Government” saved minutes in written and verbal comms by being able to say DEG? #alreadyinefficient

Alright last comment on this for now. I usually use this account for tech law and adjacent topics, but today’s headlines brought me back to Twitter

[Elizabeth Pancotti @ENPancotti]

nothing screams cutting inefficiency quite like co department heads

@cobun JUST realized they’re both Yale law when trying to think of the venn diagram lol

And the winner of financial disclosures is... Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson who reported that Beyonce Knowles-Carter gifted her four concert tickets valued at $3,711.84.

Curious to compare this press release with @StanfordHAI's more detailed tracker about the roll-out of all the federal government AI mandates from Executive Order 14110 (pending updates) https://t.co/9gdms9IQPI

Today, US federal agencies reported that they completed all of the 180-day actions in Pres. Biden’s EO on AI from last Oct. on schedule: https://t.co/JhJe2VrhkQ

Read for our analysis of biometric privacy in the US (h/t @KirkJNahrawork, @AliJay24, & Sam) and/or admire all of the citations to unpublished BIPA cases that I also had to format (#iykyk). #biometricprivacy #BIPA

[WilmerHale @WilmerHale]

WilmerHale’s Cybersecurity and Privacy team outline how the rules governing biometric data reflect US privacy at large in the April 2024 issue of the @CompPolicyInt TechREG Chronicle.

Baby nap time exists beyond the laws of physics

[Techni-Calli @Iwillleavenow]

Explain to me the science behind why a two hour baby nap feels like it only lasted three minutes.

I had ten things to get done while they're down and all I managed was grabbing myself some food.

The bill draft that caused quite the stir on Capitol Hill ! @AliJay24, @KirkJNahrawork, and I weigh in on APRA

[WilmerHale CyberPriv @WHCyberPrivacy]

In this blog post, WilmerHale lawyers summarize notable provisions of the American Privacy Rights Act and highlight key takeaways for entities looking to understand their future privacy compliance obligations, if this bill is passed. https://t.co/9UMwb9lxmQ

@Slaterfe But real talk - the man looks the same in photos from the past decade. Either great photoshop or great glow 🤷🏻‍♀️

[Anupam Chander @AnupamChander]

Is it safe to rehydrate now? Is the chaotic era over?

[Tonya Riley @TonyaJoRiley]

Fine, I’ll tweet about it…American Privacy Rights Act discussion draft here:

#FTC and other global regulators starting to buff up their technical expertise 👀 #AIregulation #AIgovernance

[FTC's Office of Technology @TechFTC]

1. Today, 24 competition and consumer protection enforcement agencies issued a statement that makes clear that integrating technologists and technical experts into the policy and enforcement process is of global importance: https://t.co/uRmW5f3hN3

Don’t sleep on the #Maryland Legislature. Maryland Kids Code (#onlinechildprivacy) and the Maryland Online Data Privacy Act of 2024 (#statecomprehensiveprivacy) are off to the governor’s desk!

[Kirk J. Nahra (work) @KirkJNahrawork]

Seriously? #newprivacylaw on a Sunday?

[Amy Olivero @_AyyOh]

@arigesher @Iwillleavenow Was about to comment this same thing. Don’t even need a reason to leave if you never show up in the first place 😂 (to be fair, it actually is a valid excuse with the energy needed for work and toddler these days 😅)

[Amy Olivero @_AyyOh]

@KirkJNahrawork @AliaLNahra Very cool! And very needed scholarship/research.

[Amy Olivero @_AyyOh]

@Slaterfe A colleague once quickly typed out “MDMA” instead of “MHMDA” and now I just want to refer to it as MDMA now?

BREAKING: It's out -- the White House fact sheet on the Executive Order to limit the sale of sensitive personal data data to "countries of concern" https://t.co/zzYixz7o6S

[Tatiana Rice @tatiianarice]

🚨CT's much-anticipated SB 2 regulating high-risk and generative AI systems has officially dropped. This bill and CA AB 331 (now AB 2930) have a significant focus on AI discrimination, & given the priority numbering, we can likely anticipate movement. https://t.co/65mgHCgPho

New California effort to add another label for an actor in the digital data ecosystem. I guess “processor” and “user” were already taken. “Data trainer” makes me think of Pokémon. I mean, yeah ok I guess “data digester”?

[Robert Bateman @RobertJBateman]

New California privacy law definition that will never catch on just dropped
