Washington’s My Health My Data Act has a private right of action – but also a harm requirement. How should courts interpret this? My article “Privacy Harms,” ssrn.com/abstract=378... with @daniellecitron.bsky.social addresses how courts can better understand privacy harm.

The rhinos we have and the ones we lost.

In the late Pleistocene, about two thirds of the worlds terrestrial megafauna went extinct. Rhinos fared better than average, but still, all the temperate and cold climate species are gone. Those that remain are endangered and in dire need of protection.

WIRED has tracked thousands of US military & intel personnel coming & going from classified sites, incl. NSA hubs & nuclear vaults. We know where they sleep, what they eat, and which brothels they visit.

It's an ocean of blackmail & national secrets within reach of every spy agency in the world.

How the largest gathering of US police chiefs is talking about AI
Officers training in virtual reality, cities surveilled by webs of sensors, and AI-generated police reports are all a sign of what’s to come.
