When Apple makes a watch that can measure blood pressure and glucose, that'll be a true game changer. Emotion tracking and golf swing detection, meh.

I generally support the FTC on privacy, but I'm not sure about this one. 1. What's the legal basis for a blanket ban? And FTC's authority? 2. How is a tech co at Meta's scale supposed to stop all product/feature launches *and modifications* until an external assessment is done? https://twitter.com/...

This makes sense if you view verified badges as status symbols and not what they were supposed to be: trust marks to certify identity so people can rely on what they see being said on Twitter. It's a plan that makes sense if truth/trust on social media doesn't matter to you. https://twitter.com/...

Now that he owns Twitter, Elon Musk has given employees their first ultimatum: Meet his deadline to introduce paid verification on Twitter or pack up and leave.

Let individual users buy blue check marks if they verify ID, fine. But don't do it unless you can commit to a system of carveouts for news organizations, government, non-profits, educational orgs, health orgs, and other critical public-facing institutions and individuals.

If you've ever found legal or security compliance obligations annoying and burdensome, remember that the consequence of not securing your data is something like this: a high-profile breach that lands your company in legal, financial, and PR trouble. https://twitter.com/...

Sources say Apple and Meta gave user data to hackers in response to forged Emergency Data Requests; Discord said it had also fulfilled a forged legal request

Apple Inc. and Meta Platforms Inc., the parent company of Facebook, provided customer data to hackers who masqueraded as law enforcement officials …

Yes, the emails from Legal are annoying, and the trainings from IT/Security are annoying. But do them! Every single person in an organization has a role to play in protecting privacy and cybersecurity. Including the junior staff, who sometimes know what they are doing ;)

As someone who once was the junior legal/compliance person dealing with these requests, I was taught to always independently verify anything that looked like a government request for data. Call the agency yourself from a publicly-listed number, and so forth. Escalate up.

W/o going into details, my worst experiences w/gov requests have come from both external and internal parties. Complaints that verification was unnecessary, time was of the essence, why even bother for a minor ask, Google and other big companies do it much faster, etc.

Any company that reaches a certain size or deals with a certain amount of user data is going to receive government requests for said data. You've got to have policies and workflows in place for this. Apple and Meta certainly did.

Sometimes watching China regulate tech is like peering through a looking glass at US tech regulation. The US also has recurring moral panics about video games and screen time for kids.
