It offers actionable solutions to these problems and a clear path forward for individuals and policymakers to advocate for change. By containing the excesses of Big Tech, we will ensure our civil rights are respected and preserved, our economy is competitive, and our democracy is protected.
"You've got to give some recommendations. You just can't say here's all the bad stuff, you figure it out. No, you need to provide a roadmap and guidelines. And what I wanted to do is allow customers to connect the dots between the issues that we are facing from society when we have this significant overcollection of data, the increasing ways that AI is being used, and how it can introduce bias or even be exploited with dark patterns and deep fakes.

Tom Kemp discusses his book: Containing Big Tech: How to protect our civil rights, our economy and our democracy.
Host Llewellyn King and Co-host Adam Clayton Powell III discuss how Big Tech is weaponizing data with Tom Kemp, a Silicon Valley investor, entrepreneur and author of "Containing Big Tech: How to Protect Our Civil Rights, Economy, and Democracy."
Silicon Valley-based entrepreneur Tom Kemp is the Managing Director of Kemp Au Ventures, an angel investment firm where he and his business partner invest their personal funds into seed and early-stage companies. As an angel investor, he has funded over 15 tech startups. Prior to becoming an investor, Tom was the Founder and CEO of Centrify, a leading cybersecurity cloud provider. As a result of his nearly 15 years in privacy, Tom devotes his time as a policy advisor for Californians for Consumer Privacy. His first book, Containing Big Tech: How to Protect Our Civil Rights, Economy, and Democracy, a definitive book on Big Tech, will be available for purchase in August. In this episode… In April, the California Delete Act was introduced in the California State Senate, a measure seeking to give state residents the right to have their personal information deleted from websites and apps. While some people believe it necessary to protect privacy, others believe the legislation could be a burden for businesses. The California Delete Act risks creating a mass exodus for California companies — it could also jeopardize future investments in new products and services to collect personal information. With the ever-increasing collection of personal information by businesses, it's safe to say more needs to be done to protect individuals' privacy. So, is the California Delete Act too harsh or a step in the right direction? In this eye-opening episode of She Said Privacy/He Said Security Podcast, our hosts break down the California Delete Act with guest Tom Kemp, the Managing Director of Kemp Au Ventures. Together, these three privacy advisors inform us about everything we need to know about Senate Bill 362, the challenges of enforcing privacy laws, tips for reducing geolocation trackers, and more. This is one episode you don't want to miss, so get comfortable and tune in now!
In this episode we discuss privacy rights with Tom Kemp, a Silicon Valley-based author, entrepreneur, investor, and policy advisor who helped get the CPRA adopted and is author of the California Delete Act of 2023. His forthcoming book, Containing Big Tech: How to Protect our Civil Rights, Economy, and Democracy, published by Fast Company Press, focuses on the use of AI with personal data and the concentrated power of large Big Tech companies and how this paradigm impacts our personal privacy and lives. As an angel investor, Tom also discusses the types of privacy and cybersecurity companies that he is attracted to and the need for more technical solutions that can help manage privacy compliance. Here is an additional resource for you to post. Plus his book is available on pre-order at https://www.amazon.com/Containing-Big-Tech-Protect-Democracy/dp/1639080619
