California promised consumers an easier way to protect their personal data. Since 2024, the Delete Act has required the state registration of data brokers — businesses that collect and sell personal data from our digital footprints — and it also mandates they give consumers a way to request their data be deleted and report how many requests they get.But, a new Stanford report shows registered data brokers are largely ignoring the laws. Jennifer King, privacy and data policy fellow at Stanford's Institute for Human-Centered AI, says only 9% of data brokers are in compliance.More on this:“Regulating Data Brokers in the Age of AI: A California Case Study” from Stanford's Institute for Human-Centered AI“About DROP and the Delete Act” from the California Privacy Protection Agency

In this week’s episode, Jennifer is joined by Kade Crockford, Director of Technology and Justice Programs at the ACLU of Massachusetts. With 15 years of experience in privacy advocacy, Kade is a nationally recognized expert on surveillance, civil liberties, and the intersection of technology and individual rights. Kade has built coalitions across political lines, driving reforms in facial recognition and police surveillance and pushing for stronger data privacy protections. Her work has been featured in leading media outlets, and she is known for championing pragmatic, bipartisan solutions to safeguarding private information in the digital age. The conversation dives deep into Massachusetts's data privacy landscape after both chambers unanimously passed new privacy laws. Jennifer and Kade discuss the dangers of the surveillance economy, debunk the myth that hyper-intrusive data collection is necessary for the modern internet, and examine the anti-competitive, harmful business models of tech giants like Meta and Google. Kade details alarming real-world cases where data broker sales have directly led to violence, exposes critical gaps in federal health privacy protections, and lays out concrete recommendations for effective state legislation, emphasizing strict data minimization and meaningful enforcement. Controversial points include challenges to industry narratives, the bipartisan failures to enact federal privacy regulation, and the urgent, often overlooked threats posed by generative AI and the data broker ecosystem. “It’s not just hypothetical, the idea that someone could access information from a data broker and actually use it to physically harm you.” ~Kade Crockford This week on Political Contessa: The rise of the surveillance economy and bipartisan support for privacy legislation in Massachusetts The business model of surveillance advertising and its negative impacts on privacy and competition Sale of geolocation and sensitive health data by data brokers to the highest bidder Real-life cases of violence enabled by data broker information leaks Insufficiency of federal privacy laws like HIPAA to protect modern digital health data The inadequacy of click-through consent as a privacy safeguard Data minimization and outright bans on the sale of sensitive personal data Generative AI’s enablement of sophisticated scams using personal information and voice imitation Connect with Kade Crockford & Resources: ACLU of Massachusetts: https://www.aclu.org/bios/kade-crockford Get involved: Contact your Massachusetts state representative or senator regarding strong enforcement and privacy rules Jane Doe Inc.

Digital Rights Watch Head of Policy Tom Sulston joined Tom Elliott to discuss the need for laws around photo and video capture in public to protect personal biometric data through innovations such as glasses with built in cameras.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

“AI for All.” That's what Canada's federal government is calling its national AI strategy. It makes the case for building AI with confidence: a homegrown supercomputer by 2031, 60 per cent adoption by 2034. But the new strategy offers little about how it will govern the technology.  Ottawa attempted to answer those concerns with two landmark bills: the Safe Social Media Act, which regulates social media platforms and AI chatbots, and the Protecting Privacy and Consumer Data Act, which brings Canada's privacy laws into the AI era. Together, these bills give the country something it's never had: a single digital regulator with power to hold companies responsible.  It's the most ambitious tech policy move this country has seen. And it's drawing fire from every direction. Critics say a superregulator gives too much power to the government, that privacy and data should be treated separately, and that this is part of a wider government effort to control speech. To dig into the details, we sat down with Evan Solomon, Canada's first Minister of Artificial Intelligence and the architect of this agenda. We talk about why data means something new in the age of AI, how this regulator would actually work, and whether it could have stopped something like Grok's controversial nudification feature – a case the current Privacy Commissioner says he's powerless to stop.

Erie County in New York State has a new Biometric Transparency and Privacy Act that went into effect June 5, 2026. In this episode, Kevin Szczepanski introduces the new local law—the first such law in New York State—and explains that, according to the law, most commercial establishments in Erie County must stop collecting, storing, using, transmitting, or monetizing customer biometric information. Businesses possessing biometric data must notify the county director by July 5, post clear notices and destruction policies at their locations, and certify deletion within 30 days. Violations may trigger daily civil penalties. Listen in to learn about both the benefits and risks of biometric data and key exemptions to the law.

In this episode of Legal Break, Giulio Coraggio, location head of the Italian Intellectual Property & Technology Law group at the law firm DLA Piper and the journalist Antonio Ravenna explain an important Italian court decision about DPO liability, GDPR, and cyber fraud.A company lost €390,000 in a Business Email Compromise (BEC) attack: criminals sent fake payment instructions and the money went to the wrong bank account. The company tried to blame its external DPO, but the Court of Florence (Decision No. 3034 of 29 May 2026) said no.Giulio and Antonio explain, in clear and simple words, why the DPO's job under the GDPR is to advise and monitor, not to make security decisions, and why the duty to put real security measures in place stays with the company. They also share practical lessons: why good documentation is the DPO's best defense, why ignoring the DPO's advice can create liability for the company, and why naming a DPO is not a replacement for real cybersecurity. Send us Fan Mail

Happy Father's Day to our viewers who celebrate. This week, we welcome police whistleblower, Kelly Donovan. Ms. Donovan was an officer with the Waterloo Police Service and has written two books about how those who speak out about issues in the police get suppressed, or else become the target of complaints from within their own police services. We discuss her early days on the job, how complaints are addressed, and the legal avenues Ms. Donovan has used to seek justice.Also discussed this week;Stories are emerging from Toronto of youth shooting at buildings and people, being hired from within and without Canada at $1000 per job.The federal gov't has passed C-14, their bail reform legislation. The Justice Minister gave special thanks to policing agencies for their input.AI-related privacy legislation was also passed, which has been subjected to major critiques from privacy experts.We follow up on Melissa Ellsworth's MAiD journey, the Monty Robinson interview, and Susan Butlin's story making the Globe and Mail.

On Legal Marketing Radio, host Chip LaFleur interviews Hal Ostrow, a shareholder at Rhodes McKee who leads the firm's technology transactions, privacy, and cybersecurity practice, about how businesses and law firms can adopt AI responsibly without putting their data, clients, or reputation at risk. Ostrow explains that while there is no single federal law governing AI yet, the existing patchwork of roughly 20 state consumer privacy laws and industry specific rules like HIPAA provide the framework through which AI use policies should be built, with the guiding principle of using the least amount of information for the shortest possible time to get the job done. He walks through the risk differences between consumer AI tools, walled enterprise platforms like LexisNexis Protégé which uses Claude, cloud hosted private instances, and on premises deployments, explaining that the right choice depends on each organization's appetite for risk and the sensitivity of the data involved. The conversation digs into agentic AI as the biggest risk multiplier, where errors compound across tasks without human review, hallucinations become harder to detect and undo the further down a chain they go, and the question shifts from whether a human is in the loop to where in the loop that human actually lives. Ostrow also flags an emerging and underappreciated risk: NDAs are now including clauses prohibiting the use of confidential information to train AI models, meaning organizations running self training agents could unknowingly violate agreements before anyone has a chance to review what was ingested. The episode closes with a look at AI driven dynamic pricing concerns, the importance of updating your insurance broker when your AI use profile changes, and the throughline that responsible AI adoption is not about avoiding the technology but about building the right guardrails before you need them. 00:00 AI Risk and Where It Lives 01:00 Meet Hal Ostrow 02:00 Building Compliant AI Policy 03:00 Privacy Law as the AI Framework 05:00 Consumer Tools vs. Enterprise Platforms 07:00 On Premises Hosting and Cybersecurity Risk 10:00 Agentic AI and the Risk Multiplier 12:00 Hallucinations and Professional Liability 14:00 Human in the Loop and Where It Matters 16:00 AI Slop and Output Accuracy Standards 18:00 Fact Checking as a New Job Function 19:00 Dynamic Pricing and Consumer Profiling 21:00 Updating Insurance for AI Risk 22:00 NDAs and the AI Training Clause 24:00 Agentic Memory and Unwitting NDA Violations 26:00 On Prem as a Privacy Strategy 27:30 Wrap Up

Among the many laws that just went into effect here in Utah is the law changing voter information privacy. Thanks to Senate Bill 153, only certain eligible voters can ask that certain personal information be withheld. But to do that, the voter had to request an "at-risk" designation… by yesterday. Weber County Clerk-Auditor Ricky Hatch joins to explain the changes and what to do it you missed the deadline.

The Electronic Communications Privacy Act, which is designed to protect users' privacy—including privacy online—turned 40 this year. On March 6, Lawfare hosted an event at Georgetown Law marking the event and featuring panel discussions with the authors of our paper series, Installing Updates to ECPA, in which experts from various disciplines reflected on the law, what's changed over the last 40 years, and how ECPA should be updated to meet today's realities. On today's podcast, we're sharing the opening remarks from that event, featuring legendary Supreme Court advocate Michael Dreeban, who argued many of the landmark ECPA cases. He talked about where ECPA came from and how it evolved, how it relates to the 4th Amendment, and where the law stands now. You can watch the entire event and read the paper series on our website here. To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

In this episode of the Discovery podcast, Jevan Hutson, J.D. '20, incoming assistant professor of law and director of the Technology Law & Public Policy Clinic, discusses the article "Forget Me Not? Machine Unlearning's Implications for Privacy Law," which he co-authored in The Columbia Science & Technology Law Review. The article explores the intersection of generative AI, privacy and data protection law and focuses on "machine unlearning," an emerging tool designed to address privacy concerns. As generative AI systems increasingly process vast amounts of personal and sensitive data, the challenges they pose to privacy regulations are intensifying. Machine unlearning allows for the selective removal or suppression of specific data — such as personal information that individuals request be deleted — from AI models. This process aims to help organizations comply with legal obligations and policy goals, particularly in response to data subject requests for data deletion. Hutson assesses whether the legal and remedial aims of privacy laws can be reconciled with the technical capabilities of machine unlearning. Listeners are invited to consider the future of privacy law in an AI-driven world and the role of machine unlearning in preserving privacy rights.

A U.S. Supreme Court ruling Monday has put a California state law on gender privacy in schools on hold.The SAFETY Act, passed into law in 2024, prohibits schools from sharing information on student gender identity without student approval.On Midday Edition Tuesday, we hear more about what the ruling means for California schools, students and parents.Guest:Katie Anastas, education reporter, KPBS

27 Feb 2026. Could AI transcription of online calls and meetings breach UAE privacy laws? We get legal clarity on what businesses need to know. Plus, Emirates Global Aluminium (EGA) reports record sales despite global tariff tensions, we speak to the CFO. Etihad Cargo has seen a surge in shipments of art, pets and high-value cars, the CEO tells us what that signals about the Abu Dhabi economy. And with new UAE e-invoicing guidelines issued ahead of phased deadlines, we break down what companies must do now.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What is the legal definition of a data broker? How is it different than most people think? What kind of privacy laws impact data brokers? What's the best way to navigate those regulations? We discuss all this and more with our guest, Zane Witherspoon. 

Your face might already live in a searchable database—and BC's courts just drew a sharp line around what companies can do with it. We break down a major ruling that upholds the privacy commissioner's order against Clearview AI, unpack why “publicly available” doesn't mean “free to scrape,” and explain how a province can regulate a US firm with no brick-and-mortar presence. This is a story about jurisdiction in the age of the internet, biometric data rights, and the limits of consent on social media platforms Canadians use every day.From there, we pivot to a wildfire zone, where a tiny drone met a big legal problem. When a helicopter pilot fighting the Kelowna blaze was irritated and distracted by a nearby drone, the court found that distraction alone interfered with fire control under the Wildfire Act. We walk through the difference between strict and absolute liability, why due diligence matters, and how “no harm done” isn't a shield when public safety is at stake.We close with a sign of the times: 3D printed suppressors that triggered prohibited device charges. Beyond the plastic parts and lab delays, the headline is new criminal exposure for simply accessing or possessing digital files intended to produce firearms or key components. We talk through how Canadian firearms law treats suppressors, why courts imposed a conditional sentence rather than jail in this case, and what makers and hobbyists need to know before downloading a file that could cross a legal line.If privacy, drones, or maker tech lives anywhere near your world, this episode offers clear, practical takeaways: don't assume public equals fair use, steer drones far from emergency operations, and think twice before clicking on gun-printing files.

Keonne Rodriguez, co-developer of the Samourai Wallet, joins The Steve Gruber Show to discuss the controversial DOJ case that has rocked the cryptocurrency world. Arrested in April 2024 and forced to plead guilty under a contentious plea deal, Rodriguez argues that the prosecution represents unprecedented overreach, threatening financial privacy, innovation, free speech, and the future of U.S.-based crypto development. The Samourai Wallet was a non-custodial Bitcoin privacy tool, designed to protect users' transactions without ever controlling their funds or private keys. Yet the DOJ labeled it a “money transmitting business,” despite FinCEN guidance stating otherwise. Critics, including Rodriguez, lawmakers, and industry experts, warn that this case criminalizes code as speech and sets a chilling precedent for all developers. Rodriguez explains the legal flaws, selective persecution, and privacy implications of the case, highlighting the broader threat to Bitcoin self-custody and U.S. innovation. He also calls for presidential pardons, legislative protections, and stronger oversight to prevent similar government overreach in the future.

Maryland's Online Data Privacy Act is officially in effect, but businesses still have time to prepare before enforcement begins in 2026. The law introduces some of the toughest rules yet on sensitive data, minors' privacy, and algorithmic assessments—creating new compliance challenges even for companies already following other state laws. This episode breaks down the key takeaways and practical steps businesses can take to stay ahead. Hosted by Simone Roach. Based on a blog post by Aaron J. Burstein and Austin J. Del Priore.

California is once again leading the nation on privacy. Governor Gavin Newsom just signed three new laws that will reshape how businesses manage user data, account deletion, and browser-based opt-outs. Together, these laws—the Opt Me Out Act, expanded data broker disclosure requirements, and new social media deletion rules—signal where CCPA enforcement is headed next. Companies should start preparing now, as compliance deadlines are just around the corner. Hosted by Simone Roach. Based on a blog post by Aaron J. Burstein and Meaghan M. Donahue.

In this episode of the Measure Success Podcast, Carl J. Cox talks with Jenny Sheridan, attorney and founder of JL Sheridan Law, about how changing data privacy laws are shaping the way companies operate. Jenny shares insights on how businesses can stay compliant with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and similar state laws, the real risks of ignoring them, and how privacy can become a competitive advantage when managed strategically. Listen to learn how to protect your business, reputation, and customers in a data-driven world.

Even without new comprehensive privacy laws passed in 2025, regulators have kept busy. California finalized major CCPA updates—introducing risk assessments, cybersecurity audits, and automated decision-making rules—while amendments and new state laws in Maryland, Indiana, Kentucky, and Rhode Island take effect soon. Colorado also extended the deadline for its AI Act. This episode breaks down what's changing, when key obligations begin, and why businesses need to start mapping their compliance timelines now. Hosted by Simone Roach. Based on a blog post by Aaron J. Burstein, Alexander I. Schneider, and Meaghan M. Donahue
