The #WhiteHouse proposes a new #AIpolicy #framework that aims to supersede state laws. The framework includes proposals for #childprivacy protections, fewer restrictions on #datacentre buildout, and vague ideas about #IPlicensing. However, the framework’s contradictory nature and its stance on preempting state laws raise concerns. https://www.engadget.com/ai/the-white-house-proposes-new-ai-policy-framework-that-supersedes-state-laws-192251995.html?eicker.news #tech #media #news

Disney is in the headlines for children's privacy violations in the US.
Regulators say Disney's YouTube content wasn't properly labelled as "Made for Kids", which matters because that label is meant to restrict tracking and targeted advertising for under-13s. The allegation is simple: mislabelling enabled the collection of children's data without the required parental notice and consent protections.
Disney agreed to pay $10m and implement compliance measures.
Worth asking: if this can happen at Disney scale, how many platforms and publishers are quietly doing similar things, and how would you even know?

Tuesday, I’ll flee D.C.’s 90-something temperatures for the 100-something temperatures of Las Vegas–but as I’ve realized over previous trips to that desert city for the Black Hat information-security conference, it really is a dry heat.
In addition to the posts below, my Patreon readers got a recap of a very long day of travel on Thursday of the previous week that saw me returning home about 21 hours after I’d stepped off of the front porch that morning.
7/30/2024: These Are the Services Seeing the Biggest Uptick in Passkey Adoption, PCMag
What I thought would be an easy writeup of an embargoed copy of a Dashlane study about passkey adoption among users of that password manager wound up enlightening me about Facebook’s support of that authentication standard. And once again, I found Facebook’s documentation out of date and incorrect.
7/31/2024: Here’s How Microsoft Wants to Shield You From Abusive AI–With Help From Congress, PCMag
I had ambitions of attending this downtown-D.C. event Tuesday afternoon featuring Microsoft’s vice chair and president Brad Smith, but my schedule ran away from me and I watched the proceedings online. And then I didn’t finish writing this piece until Wednesday morning, although that at least let me nod to news that day of the impending introduction of a new bill targeting AI impersonations of people.
8/2/2024: Circuit Court Throws a Stop Sign in Front of FCC’s Net-Neutrality Rules, PCMag
Reading this unanimous opinion from three judges–one named by Clinton, another a Biden appointee–that the Federal Communications Commission didn’t have the authority to put broadband providers into one of two possible regulatory buckets left me feeling like I’d been taking crazy pills over the last 20 years of the net-neutrality debate, during which the FCC has repeatedly done just that.
8/3/2024: Justice Department Sues TikTok, Alleging Massive Child-Privacy Violations, PCMag
I woke up Saturday thinking that somebody at PCMag was already covering the DOJ lawsuit against TikTok, but nobody had grabbed that story. So I set aside part of that morning to read the DOJ’s complaint, get a comment out of a TikTok publicist and write this post summarizing the department’s allegations.

#FTC #Privacy #ChildPrivacy: "The Federal Trade Commission has proposed changes to the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Rule (COPPA Rule) that would place new restrictions on the use and disclosure of children’s personal information and further limit the ability of companies to condition access to services on monetizing children’s data. The proposal aims to shift the burden from parents to providers to ensure that digital services are safe and secure for children.
In a notice of proposed rulemaking, the FTC is seeking comment on proposed changes to the COPPA Rule aimed at addressing the evolving ways personal information is being collected, used, and disclosed, including to monetize children’s data, and clarifying and streamlining the rule."
