Taking a break from symposium tweeting to thank @SSRN for highlighting my paper co-authored w/ @Kish_Parella of @wlulaw “Data Supply Chains” where we uncover the nature of corporate data acquisition as a supply chain & investigate the consequences of that reality @SMULawSchool

[Carla L. Reyes @Prof_CarlaReyes]

This week, the @SMULawSchool @SMUSTLR joins forces with the @DallasFed to host a 2-day conversation on digital payments. Featuring a keynote from FDIC Chairman Travis Hill, & a panel with @ChrisOdinet @propelforward & @JDSmeltzer on Thursday (with @Andrea_Tosato moderating) 1/2

[Carla L. Reyes @Prof_CarlaReyes]

Not to sound like a broken record, but emerging tech. is critical infrastructure of the digital economy, & a national security priority…that sits largely in the hands of companies.

Sure hope they manage their data supply chains to ensure resilience

@Andrea_Tosato @Prof_CarlaReyes Thank you, Andrea!

[Carla L. Reyes @Prof_CarlaReyes]

New paper drop!

@Kish_Parella & I argue that data acquisition is a supply chain & that identifying it as such offers insights to corporate managers & their legal counsel to help mitigate risk & ensure product and service longevity for digital critical infrastructure 1/2

[Kish Parella @Kish_Parella]

3/ Seeing data as a supply chain has consequences for:
• board oversight & enterprise risk
• contracting and diligence
• competition & national security

2/ We develop a typology of five ways companies acquire data and show how these practices create upstream dependencies and risks—much like physical supply chains.

[Kish Parella @Kish_Parella]

1/ Companies treat data as fuel—but law still regulates it like exhaust.

Our new paper argues that how firms acquire data functions as a supply chain, not a byproduct.

[IC3 @initc3org]

New research by IC3 @Prof_CarlaReyes & @Kish_Parella (@wlulaw) argues that protecting a U.S. Bitcoin reserve is a national security issue—one that depends not just on miners, but on the resilience of supply chains 🧵
