A credit-reporting agency falsely claimed people were terrorists. When the citizens sued, guess who the courts sided with.

I spoke w/ @daniel-solove.bsky.social on techtonic.fm about how our privacy is being destroyed. Often, he says, "the law is the villain."

Another quote in NYT about DOGE data grab: “None of these questions are answered,” he said. “There’s no transparency, no accountability, no limitations.”

My quote in NYT: “What is this going to be used for?” asked Daniel Solove, a George Washington University law professor and the author of several books on privacy and technology. “What are the protections? Where does he have it? What will be done with it? What could be done with it in the future?"

Despite Muddied Waters, the AI Moratorium Still Violates the Byrd Rule Last Thursday, the Senate Commerce Committee Republicans released an “updated” version of their AI moratorium — the provision in the divisive House-passed budget reconciliation bill that would impose a ten-year ban on the enforcement of any laws or regulations by state and local governments on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and automated decision systems.  They did so […]

Don't miss CDT Travis Hall’s take on why the updated AI moratorium in the Senate's budget bill is still a problem. It's not just about the Byrd Rule violation; it's ab the threat to states' ability to regulate AI & even potentially their broadband funding. Dive deeper here: cdt.org/insights/des...

Overturning this rule obliterates patient privacy & provider trust. If patients fear what they say to their doctors will be used against them by law enforcement—even when the treatment is legal—patients are much less likely to be candid. thehill.com/policy/h...

7. As a result of Defendants’ actions, I have been denied the wages, benefits, and resources to which I am legally entitled as an FTC Commissioner. 8. For personal reasons, I can no longer afford to go without any source of income for my family. Applicable rules and regulations limit an FTC Commissioner’s ability to accept other employment while serving on the Commission. See, e.g., 15 U.S.C. § 41 (“No Commissioner shall engage in any other business, vocation, or employment.”). In addition, even assuming I would not be deemed an FTC Commissioner for purposes of such rules and regulations for the duration of this litigation, my acceptance of other employment during the pendency of this litigation could give rise to an appearance of impropriety or to actual or perceived conflicts of interest. 9. Accordingly, and out of an abundance of caution, I formally resigned my position as a Commissioner of the FTC on June 9, 2025.

UPDATE: One of the two FTC commissioners Trump purported to fire in March, Alvaro Bedoya, resigned today because he hasn't been paid since then and, he wrote, "I can no longer afford to go without any source of income for my family." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
