Had such a good time chatting everything data privacy laws with @achapell.bsky.social!
I asked VT Rep @mepriestley.com what a "good" state privacy law looks like - and here's her response. I wish I'd asked to what degree adtech processing falls under the category of "what consumers directly asked for..." as that implies an EU style consent requirement is coming - tinyurl.com/y6ysb5um

@epicprivacy.bsky.social wrote a blog post criticizing the French Competition Authorities' position characterizing Apple ATT as anti-competitive.

Apple gab Nutzern einen Weg, Apps daran zu hindern, ihre Aktivitäten anderswo zu erfassen. Seitdem gibt es Streit. Jetzt könnten Wettbewerbs-Bedenken die Funktion in europäischen Ländern stoppen.

@patrickmcgee.bsky.social shares a bit about his process for writing "Apple in China". There's a lesson for us regulatory folks as we try to share BIG ideas in a way that is digestible.
There's also lots of stuff about his fascinating book & Apple's stance on privacy and competition.

On this week's @monopolyreport.bsky.social pod, we continue my discussion with former Chair of the FTC, Jon Leibowitz.
In this clip, we talk about where to set the bar in terms of privacy rules - where we make the point that having FEW rules or TOO STRINGENT rules tends to favor big tech.

Antitrust law is increasingly less likely to save publishers. And all due respect to wikiHow, Google's not going to save them either....
So what will help? Collective Action and Technical Solutions.
