Court upholds block of California law aimed at protecting kids online

The California Age-Appropriate Design Code Act, passed in 2022, would be among the most sweeping pieces of legislation to protect kids from online harms — if it hadn’t become tangled up in court. The law has two basic requirements: first, that tech companies analyze and report on whether their products are harmful for children; second, that they minimize how much data they collect from those under 18. Earlier this month a federal appeals court found that first part likely violates the First Amendment, and upheld a lower-court decision blocking that part of the law. But it vacated an injunction on the second component, the part dealing with data privacy. The decision could point a way forward for similar laws, many of which have also run into legal challenges, Aaron Mackey, free speech and transparency litigation director at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, told Marketplace’s Meghan McCarty Carino.

Aaron Mackey: Swiping Your Privacy

Attorney Aaron Mackey joins Tim to talk about how intelligence agencies, law enforcement and private companies are buying your data as part of larger surveillance operations. Is this against the spirit of the Fourth Amendment rights to privacy?  Aaron works for the Electronic Frontier Foundation, or the EFF. The foundation is the leading nonprofit organization defending civil liberties in the digital world. It champions user privacy, free expression, and innovation. In this episode, Aaron talks about your privacy. How much you have, who's invading it, how they're doing it. And most importantly, what they're doing with your personal information. https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/shapingopinion/Swiping_Your_Privacy_auphonic.mp3 You probably already know that you don't have much privacy. When you leave your house, cameras are watching. You have cameras throughout the city, sending images back to some central security hub. Then you have cameras homeowners install to watch their own property. In the process, you can't walk down any street without the possibility that you're being watched and recorded. But it's not just cameras. That smartphone in your pocket may be the most prolific source of your private data. The cloud knows where you are, where you were, how long you spent there, and in some cases, where you're going. It knows what you're thinking about based on what it hears you saying through the microphone and the search engine in the device itself. Did you use a social media app like Facebook, Twitter or Instagram? It's not just each of those sites that know what you're saying and doing. It's the network that the phone itself is connected to.  They know…and they share. They share your information, and you don't know who's seeing it, and what they're doing with it. You don't know how you're being judged. Aaron Mackey is a senior attorney with the Electronic Frontier Foundation. I mentioned all of this to him, but I asked him the big question on my mind. We know these companies have our information, but is it all harmless? Links The Electronic Frontier Foundation Big Brother Watching?

Section 230 and the U.S. Supreme Court With Aaron Mackey, Senior Staff Attorney of the Electronic Frontier Foundation With Richard Levick of LEVICK: Aaron Mackey, Senior Staff Attorney of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, speaks with host Richard Levick of LEVICK to discuss the recent comments by U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas that either the U.S. Supreme Court should weigh in on the scope of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which provides broad immunity for online companies or that Congress should. While critics of Section 230 contend that it is outdated and that lawmakers never envisioned the present-day digital world, Aaron argues that smaller companies will be adversely impacted in ways many critics do not yet appreciate and that there are better, less harmful ways to do this such as antitrust, increased competition and privacy,

ABOUT THE AUTHOR Terrence McCauley is an award-winning writer of Thrillers, Crime Fiction and Westerns. His first two Aaron Mackey westerns (WHERE THE BULLETS FLY and DARK TERRITORY), published by Pinnacle, were finalists for the Western Writers of America's Silver Spur Award. WHERE THE BULLETS FLY won the Western Fictioneers Award for Best Novel in 2018. The third and fourth books in the series, GET OUT OF TOWN and THE DARK SUNRISE, were published in 2020. ABOUT THE BOOK - THE DARK SUNRISE At long last, U.S. Marshal Aaron Mackey and Deputy Billy Sunday will see crime baron James Grant and his kill-crazy cronies stand trial for the mayhem and suffering they unleashed on the people of Dover Station. But as Montana Territory's statehood is approaching, murdering devils like Grant can no longer be tolerated in positions of political power.   Or can they? Montana's capital of Helena follows its own set of laws—laws that not only set Grant free, but give peacekeeping authority to a sadistic murdering gunslinger like Colonel Warren Bell, Mackey's commanding officer during the war. The city's leaders prefer keeping killers like Grant and Bell under their thumbs.   Mackey knows there's no controlling these bloodthirsty madmen. And if they think they're above the law, then Mackey and Billy will just have to appoint themselves judge, jury, and executioners . . .

Would you take your computer in for repair if you knew the technicians would be scanning your hard drive looking for anything suspicious while they had the hood up? It’s something that apparently we all need to be considering now. A recent lawsuit against a California doctor has revealed that the FBI has been paying Best Buy Geek Squad technicians to search for illegal content on the computers that were sent in for repairs. The relationship appears to go back at least 10 years. Today I speak with Aaron Mackey, a staff attorney at the Electronic Frontier Foundation - the organization who discovered this connection through the use of Freedom of Information Act queries. I’ll also briefly update on the latest Facebook scandals and their attempts to address the massive privacy issues. Aaron Mackey joined EFF in 2015 after moving from Washington, D.C. where he worked on speech, privacy, and freedom of information issues at the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press and the Institute for Public Representation at Georgetown Law.
