#NonCompliant is back! Really excited to have @Laura__Antonini & Harvey Rosenfield of @WeAreRepresent on to discuss their new report on protecting consumers from corporate wrongdoing & (gasp) how to reform #classactions. And yes, #Girardi comes up too.

Reboot Required: The Civil Justice System Has Crashed shows how business goliaths sponsored a fifty-year campaign to reprogram the nation’s civil laws and judicial procedures to favor corporations and the elites.

“People know that the civil justice system is broken,” says Harvey Rosenfield. “In their daily pocketbook struggles they’re completely vulnerable. Most Americans have no rights or remedies.”

In a June 2019 petition, we asked the @FTC to investigate job scoring firm HireVue for unfair algorithmic practices. Today, Hirevue announces it will stop analyzing facial expressions as part of its applicant scoring system. https://t.co/eoWi3cWMTG #AI #privacy

Abolishing #PACER fees is necessary to achieve an open & transparent judiciary. Everyone should have access to court filings w/out having to fork over 10 cents a page to get a document. This isn't a photocopy machine at a Kinko's in 1995. #OpenCourtsAct https://t.co/muVJlIxCyr

🚨🚨🚨 Secret surveillance scores “should be extraordinarily controversial, not just the occasional topic of tech journalists.” 👇

Our latest oped in @PostOpinions: tech companies you’ve likely never heard of are tapping vast troves of your data to generate secret "surveillance scores” about you that may determine whether you get an apartment, a job, or medical care #privacy #AI https://t.co/KMjQnwlxa1

The FTC ducks on protecting consumers against algorithmic discrimination and scoring as #COVID19 ramps up digital surveillance of Americans. The agency suggests tech companies regulate themselves - we say #dosomething #privacy #AI #ProtectConsumers

[#REPRESENT @WeAreRepresent]

Amidst unprecedented pandemic-related surveillance of Americans that will lead to discriminatory algorithms and scoring in the future, the @FTC tells tech companies to regulate themselves. We told the Commission to use its authority to protect consumers👇

Sure, you monitor your credit score. But you probably don’t know your consumer score — or even the fact that you have one. @Laura__Antonini calls them “credit scores, but on steroids.” https://t.co/ZWSLM9micu
