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
@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.

But trying to sue privacy laws out of existence is not one of them.
