Javah pulls up and him + Nelson get into the kind of dating talk that makes people argue in the comments: standards, ambition, and why “I don't hang with you anymore” usually translates to you've got no motion (plus the difference between being supportive vs. carrying dead weight). Then the convo swings into the real scary side of modern life—AI everywhere, data breaches getting brushed off with weak refunds, and platforms digging through your history like it's just “normal” now—while they joke through the fact that none of us are as private as we think.Find Javah at https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/javah/the-super-angry-superstar-2

A much-needed discussion on the fast‑shifting world of data privacy in 2026 and what it means for MSPs on the front lines. From the tangled web of U.S. state privacy laws to the rising risks hidden in modern data flows (yes, even your car!), guest Andy Sambandam, Clarip CEO & Founder, lays out why every security breach is now a privacy breach, and why security and privacy are officially a forever marriage. We dig into transparency, consent, data mapping, retention policies, and the growing pressure on businesses to actually practice what their privacy policies preach. If you want to stay ahead of compliance, client expectations, and real‑world data risks, this episode gives you the clarity and direction you need.

The past few years have been a critical time in the development of data privacy laws and the regulation of AI in the United States. As we look toward 2026, the complexities are only increasing. In this episode, the Antitrust Law Section's Privacy and Information Security (PRIS) Committee joins forces with OCA to focus on the highlights of 2025 and predictions for 2026. Hosts Alicia Downey and Anora Wang talk to PRIS Committee vice chairs Jessica Cohen of Verizon Communications and Alex Brown of Alston & Bird about why the next 12 months could redefine how AI and data privacy are regulated at the federal and state levels. In addition, listeners will hear from Jessica about being a mother of five, and get an update on Walter, a beauty pageant-winning dog, who was just a puppy when Alex was a featured guest on OCA Episode #89 back in 2020.

Ambient documentation is becoming normal in clinics. But the most interesting “voice” capability may not be transcription at all.In the latest episode of Faces of Digital Health, Henry O'Connell (Canary Speech) explains why voice biomarkers stalled for decades: the field analyzed words, not the neurological signal behind speech production.Canary's approach focuses on the “primary data layer”—how the central nervous system drives respiration, vocal cord vibration, and articulation in real conversational speech. A few details that stood out: ⏱️ ~45 seconds of conversation can be enough for assessment

Generative AI like ChatGPT is now woven into nearly every part of teen life, and many parents feel unsettled by how fast it all happened. Are teens using AI tools like ChatGPT or Google Gemini to learn, to cheat, or something in between? Are they turning to AI for emotional support? And what should parents actually be worried about versus reacting out of fear? In this episode, Dr. Cam pulls back the curtain on how teens are really using generative AI. You will hear what teens told researchers directly, what surprised even the experts, and why most parents are focusing on the wrong risks. Dr. Cam is joined by Alanna Powers-O'Brien, Research and Program Specialist at the Family Online Safety Institute and co-author of the national report Generative AI in Uncertain Times: How Teens Are Navigating a New Digital Frontier.

In this episode of The Liquidity Event, AJ and Shane kick off the new year with a wide-ranging conversation that spans data privacy, tax policy, real estate, and retirement planning, with a few dragon-filled detours along the way. They start with California's push to rein in data brokers, breaking down how personal data is bought and sold, why spam calls are nearly impossible to stop, and whether privacy legislation can realistically make a difference. The conversation then shifts to the winners and losers of the 2026 tax and benefit changes, unpacking the idea of a K-shaped economy and why tax cuts tend to benefit asset owners far more than workers. AJ and Shane also dig into Manhattan's all-cash real estate boom, why wealthy buyers did not flee New York despite repeated tax threats, and how liquidity, SBLOCs, and market gains are reshaping who wins bidding wars. The episode wraps with a candid discussion on annuities, why they are often misunderstood, when they can make sense, and how bad actors have given them a deservedly complicated reputation, before teasing a future deep dive into nuclear energy.

professorjrod@gmail.comIn this episode of Technology Tap: CompTIA Study Guide, my students dive into the notorious Cambridge Analytica scandal and its profound impact on data privacy and technology ethics. Our students break down how seemingly harmless personality quizzes exploited Facebook data, creating psychological profiles that influenced elections worldwide. This discussion not only explores real-world technology applications but also enhances your understanding of data security—an essential topic for IT skills development and CompTIA exam prep. Tune in to expand your knowledge of technology education and the critical role of informed consent in today's digital landscape.We walk through the mechanics: the Open Graph loophole, the “This Is Your Digital Life” app, and the shift from demographic targeting to OCEAN-based psychographics that amplified fear, duty, or curiosity depending on your traits. The conversation connects the dots from early experiments with Ted Cruz to huge ad impression volumes tied to the 2016 cycle, explores coordination concerns with super PACs, and examines why these tactics made public debate harder and disinformation easier to spread. Along the way, our students highlight the whistleblowers who surfaced the practice and the global footprint that reached Brexit, the Caribbean, and beyond.The fallout mattered. Facebook faced FTC, SEC, and UK ICO actions; Cambridge Analytica went bankrupt; and Meta tightened API access to cut off friend data collection. We also dig into the privacy wave that followed—GDPR in Europe, CCPA in California—and what those laws do and don't fix. The core takeaway is clear: ethical data practices and transparent advertising aren't nice-to-haves; they're the guardrails for a healthy digital public square. If personal data can be turned into political power, then consent, purpose limits, and accountability must be visible and enforceable.Listen for a clear, step-by-step breakdown, plain-language answers to tough questions, and practical context you can use to evaluate political ads and platform policies.

Every day, consumers are confronted with the fragility of our personal data privacy — another data breach, another government agency accessing databases they didn't previously have access to, another consent form popping up to get permission to gather more data.It's almost too much for any one person to keep a handle on, according to Rohan Grover, professor of artificial intelligence and media at American University. He recently co-authored a piece for The Conversation about why data privacy seems to have largely fallen out of the public discourse, even though he says the topic is more urgent than ever.
