"ACLU Surveillance and Cybersecurity counsel Jennifer Granick said O’Neill misstated the Wiretap Act.
“The district court did not provide any information that suggests that unsealing this opinion would interfere with this investigation,” she said. “The district court’s decision was really based on two things that are mistakes. The district court said the Wiretap Act seals anything related to underlying wiretap proceedings, and that’s a misstatement of law.” Read more about ACLU, Washington Post Fight for Look at Sealed Ruling in Facebook Encryption Case

"In recent news, Google and Apple teamed up to build a Bluetooth-enabled feature that sends alerts to users who might be in close contact with an infected person.

"Jen King, the director of consumer privacy at Stanford’s Center for Internet and Society, points out that even with guidelines from CMU’s review board in place and the tech companies acting as mere conduits for the surveys, Facebook and Google are both powerful enough to gather data for their own health-tracking projects, if they so desire. Google, she notes, has our search trends. And “Facebook has so many possible data points that they can do an analysis of anyone who is posting anything in their News Feed right now, complaining about feeling sick or having a fever,” King says.

However, data does come with a downside. In a statement about self-driving cars, Bryant Walker Smith, a law professor at the University of South Carolina who studies the impact of autonomous technology on society, states that “these sensor-heavy systems will be enormous data harvesters” which will provide big carmakers with their consumers’ sensitive and personal data. If these major manufacturers do not proceed with integrity and respect, it could have devastating consequences for us all. Read more about Big Data and The Future of Driving

"As confirmed over email by Ryan Calo, an associate professor at the UW School of Law, there are not any legal frameworks for consumers to push for more control of their data. This is partly because users play the role as both the product and the consumer.
"Several household name tech companies are currently under a consent decree (set of binding obligations) for inadequate security," Calo said over email. "Zoom isn't, but I could easily see them being one soon.""

"Using surveillance technology to get back to normal life after COVID-19 makes sense, right? “If Typhoid Mary had a cellphone, we’d want to know where she was,” said Al Gidari, consulting director of Privacy at the Stanford Center for Internet and Society. What isn’t so apparent is what degree of surveillance we need to effectively track the virus, and how much privacy we may have to sacrifice to get there."

"“The benefit of the Google/Apple approach is that its decentralized,” said Al Gidari, consulting director of privacy at the Stanford Center for Internet and Society, adding that proximity tracing is “as close to anonymous as you can get, technically.”
“The beauty” of the Google and Apple approach is that it works at a scale “that works for 3 billion people,” Gidari said." Read more about Google and Apple May Help Us Understand ‘Typhoid Mary’s’ Cell Phone Movements
