I have recorded an updated introduction to my module on Legal and Regulatory Aspects of Cybersecurity (IY5621) at @RoyalHolloway, University of London. I look forward to seeing students on campus during the block mode delivery week in January 2026. https://t.co/A1vZ73Iv0k

@OrinKerr Paging @byelin Just because.

@OrinKerr Eventually, I formed this view. “The stories” ARE the law. The rules we teach are merely efforts to rationalise the narrative. 4/end

@OrinKerr Loving it.

@OrinKerr I remember reading an interesting paper on an IT-law subject that was let down by the title: something that mimicked a mathematical expression using superscript and subscript terms. Databases mis-indexed it, I had trouble citing it in a paper because of typography limits, etc.

@snoozrooz @OrinKerr @PNW1983 I used to use names from well known situation comedies like one of my law school professors... until I realised that almost none of my students had ever watched the shows. So now it's Andy Alpha at Propellor Pockets Ltd buys Widgets from Bravo Boys Incorporated, etc.

@OrinKerr @EricColumbus They actually licensed the rights for a “remake” to avoid disputes.

@NCSC @BlackHatEvents Indeed. I thought I’d wandered into a Taylor Swift concert. 😉

[Robert Carolina @Rob2yall]

@SueHarrison123 That would clearly work for all of those roles.

@Ruth_A_Buzzi I’ve seen it before, and yet somehow it’s funnier when you tell it. 🙂

@sallyhodgkiss Now THAT is some next level immersive theatre. Congratulations!

If the EU cyber resilience act (CRA) and product liability directive (PLD) are the answers to software cyber security, what were the questions? #FOSDEMpublic #cybersecurity #regulation #law

An anonymous scam caller said, “I have all your passwords.”

I grabbed a pencil and paper and said, “Thank God! What are they?”

@ThatMariaPeters Nothing to see here
