Woah, woah, WOAH. An official @FTC blog post by a staff attorney noting that "The FTC Act prohibits unfair or deceptive practices. That would include the sale or use of – for example – racially biased algorithms." https://t.co/kM4u3gOEC5

@npdoty Congrats!

If Donald Trump can vote by mail, we can vote by mail.

@MargotKaminski @ashk4n @VolokhC @Mayer_Brown Agreed. It's certainly possible that strong privacy laws could run afoul of biz-friendly First Amendment doctrine. And we may hold different opinions on how best to wage that battle. But I think we agree that avoiding it entirely isn't really possible.

[Chris Conley @manconley]

@ashk4n @VolokhC @Mayer_Brown @MargotKaminski @ACLU @EFF @CDT Coda: there are certainly times where technology companies are in fact fierce defenders of the First Amendment rights of their users in circumstances that have little to do with their own bottom line. But trying to sue privacy laws out of existence is not one of them.

@ashk4n @VolokhC @Mayer_Brown @MargotKaminski @ACLU @EFF @CDT "that they would rather file an expansive lawsuit than simply ask their customers for permission to use their information." Indeed it does. 6/6

@ashk4n @ConsumerFed @ACLU @OaklandPrivacy @ColorOfChange @MarySRoss18 @ACLU_NorCal @snowjake has already spelled out our reasoning, so no need to belabor it here. https://t.co/Zn61D5ieqk

@ashk4n @ConsumerFed @ACLU @OaklandPrivacy @ColorOfChange @MarySRoss18 While I appreciate the shout-out, I take issue with the implication that @ACLU_NorCal opposes the CPRA because we were somehow "misled." We oppose it because it has significant flaws, including but not limited to some of those that @MarySRoss18 has highlighted.

@CASupremeCt Amici @ACLU_NorCal @ACLU_SoCal @sdACLU @EFF highlighted the ways that electronic searches not only invade privacy but actually undermine the purpose of probation by chilling conversations and relationships: https://t.co/HooKgvWLEn

[Chris Conley @manconley]

Big win for privacy of young people on probation in CA: @CASupremeCt finds electronic search condition unreasonable when facts of case “fail to justify the substantial burdens imposed” by electronic searches. https://t.co/Hjm2sLGWNt
