Talked with the @washingtonpost.com this week about the 23&Me bankruptcy. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202... One in the weeds question for me is the applicability of California's Genetic Information Privacy Act if the assets are sold off.

I talked with the @huffpost.com this week about the @signal.org mishap, making it clear that the app is not to blame here. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

In 2016-2017, I interviewed a handful of 23&Me customers for my Ph.D dissertation research on privacy, personal disclosure and power. I asked my interviewees about their concerns should something 'bad' happen to the company, like, oh, going bankrupt, and the impact on their genetic data.

What did Gaetz post in his Venmo transaction comments? Wrong answers only.

[cw: AI-generated CSAM discussion] New Publication: In a case study for the Partnership on AI, my HAI colleague Caroline Meinhardt & I explain why direct disclosure mechanisms (e.g. content labels) can’t serve as a panacea for all the harms of synthetic media. partnershiponai.org/hai-research...

I'm preparing to teach a class at Stanford on dark patterns/manipulative design in January-AFAIK the first class to be fully devoted to the topic at a university (at least in the US!). If you have a recent paper, a case, an example, or anything else that you think I should include, feel free to LMK!

Shout out to my Stanford colleague and friend Dan Ho, the kind of lawyer who actually reads his closing docs, and by nature of being a law professor turns them into an impactful research project. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

Anyone remember Harriet Miers? Asking for a not-friend.

After sitting out social media for months (except for LinkedIn, which is *not* a social media site), I'm placing my bets here. 🤞
