Weekly output: Bluesky verification, brain-computer interface, Xfinity Mobile, resisting FTC commissioners, Comcast pain points

RIO DE JANEIRO–The organizers of Web Summit Rio have once again seen fit to have me moderate panels at their conference here (with my hotel paid for and my airfare to be reimbursed). And while last year I got away with only doing one panel, this year I have three: a discussion about Web3 possibilities Monday, a session on data privacy Tuesday, and a panel about AI in advertising on Wednesday.

4/21/2025: Bluesky Adds Blue Checks to Verified Accounts, But They’re Not for Sale, PCMag

Bluesky’s management continues to impress me with their thoughtful responses to problems that arise with that decentralized platform.

4/23/2025: I Controlled a Wheelchair With My Mind (Well, I Think I Did), PCMag

The research for this happened three weeks ago at NTT’s Upgrade 2025 conference in San Francisco (with that Japanese telco covering my airfare and lodging), but writing this post took some time. And then my editor had to find time of her own to edit this between all of the news breaking this month.

4/23/2025: Xfinity Mobile’s New Premium Unlimited Plan Doubles Data Without a Price Hike, PCMag

I felt a little confused covering a story about Comcast that did not involve a service costing more–especially coming a day after T-Mobile announced a rate rewrite that looks like it will amount to a large cost increase for many users.

4/24/2025: The FTC Commissioners That Trump Wants to Fire: We’re Not Going Away, PCMag

I spent Wednesday and Thursday at the privacy trade group IAPP’s annual conference in D.C. thinking that Verge editor-in-chief Nilay Patel interviewing Rebecca Slaughter and Alvaro Bedoya, the two members of the Federal Trade Commission that Trump wants gone, would be the newsiest part. And so it was.

4/25/2025: Comcast Execs: Our Pricing Is Opaque and We Can Be Hard to Do Business With, PCMag

Because I was busy getting ready for IAPP Thursday morning, I missed the Comcast earnings call that featured executives admitting the “pain points” the company had created with its customers. Fortunately, nobody else at PCMag picked up the story before I could get to it Friday.

I’m heading to Dulles before dawn tomorrow, but not for work: I’m flying to Dallas to try to see the solar eclipse, a friend having invited people to visit for the occasion. Please wish us luck with the weather!

4/3/2024: Ad Industry Unbothered by Federal Privacy Law (Because It’ll Probably Never Happen), PCMag

I wrote this from the Interactive Advertising Bureau’s Public Policy and Legal Summit mindful of my past excessive optimism about Congress passing a comprehensive privacy law–and then Sunday brought news of another such attempt, the introduction of the American Privacy Rights Act by Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R.-Wash.) and Sen. Maria Cantwell (D.-Wash.). I would love to see this headline age as badly as the one PCMag ran above a January 2023 post of mine–“Is This the Year Congress Finally Tackles Privacy Legislation?”–but I’m not going to get my hopes up just yet.

4/3/2024: FCC to Try Again on Net-Neutrality Rules at April 25 Meeting, PCMag

Speaking of tech-policy stories that have been going on forever, I wrote about the latest twist in the net-neutrality plot: the Federal Communications Commission’s scheduled date to vote for rules reinstating strong rules along the lines of the net-neutrality regulations it passed in 2015 and then smashed the “delete” key on in 2017.

4/5/2024: In this California valley, machine vision meets grapevines, Fast Company

I did some of my most scenic reporting in Sonoma County two weeks ago to check out how one vineyard there is applying robotics and electric-vehicle technology to tend its vines in a greener way–while collecting much more data about them along the way.

4/5/2024: Facebook Really, Really Doesn’t Want You to Read This One Story, PCMag

I was going to spend Thursday afternoon writing about an exceptionally-informative panel about the hazards of age-verification requirements that I’d watched at the International Association of Privacy Professional’s Global Privacy Summit, but then I saw Bluesky lighting up with posts about Facebook not only blocking a Kansas Reflector op-ed critical of its downranking of climate-change discussions and then bulk-deleting every Facebook post sharing any link to the Reflector’s site. The story got increasingly bizarre as I exchanged e-mails with two editors at that publication–one of 39 funded around the U.S. by the nonprofit States Newsroom–while Meta limited its PR efforts to a vague and unhelpful tweet from publicist Andy Stone. Only on Saturday did it get into more specifics, in the form of a series of replies to Bluesky posts by Instagram head Adam Mosseri in which he said the problem was a phishing-site filter going awry.

4/6/2024: How manufacturing is discovering new virtuous circles as it moves toward a more circular economy, Fast Company

The last piece I wrote for the Most Innovative Companies project–I did the interview for this from National Airport on my way to Barcelona for MWC Feb. 23, then wrote and filed it from Newark Airport a few hours later–was also the last to be published.

Today, I took a closer look at the website of the "International Association of #Privacy Professionals" [sic] #IAPP.

Interesting news section, but #RSS feed mentioned nowhere ( it's https://iapp.org/rss/ )

#GoogleFonts, #GoogleTagManager, #cloudflare.

Accounts with #Twitter, #Instagram, #Facebook, #YouTube, but none on the #Fediverse. Except maybe the zero-posts, dead @iapp or @privacy_news (are these even legit?).

Will drop by again next year, maybe some minimal improvements by then.

For those wondering what the current #EU #AIAct draft actually deals with: Oliver Patel from #IAPP has created a high-level #CheatSheet. Thank you!

#IAPP 2023 in Brüssel: BlnBDI Meike Kamp diskutierte gestern auf dem Europäischen #Datenschutzkongress mit Datenschützern aus ganz Europa über die Vereinbarkeit von personalisierter digitaler #Werbung und #Datenschutz sowie über die Auswirkungen des #DigitalMarketsAct und der #DigitalServicesAct auf #Adtech.

My upcoming work week only has about three and a half days’ worth of time available for my usual work. The entirety of Tuesday, meaning from 5 a.m. to about 9 p.m., has me serving as a poll worker, the seventh time I will have worked as an Arlington election officer. And then I’ll have to set business aside by mid-afternoon Friday to start my journey to Lisbon for Web Summit.

10/30/2023: President Biden Issues Executive Order on AI: Here’s What It Does, PCMag

I had to write this off the White House’s announcement early Monday of this executive order instead of the actual text of the EO on AI, because that nearly 20,000-word document did not get posted to the White House’s site until late Monday afternoon.

10/31/2023: Lightning Lives On in Apple’s Input Devices, Most of Its Headphones, PCMag

Yes, you saw this post last month. I offered to write a new top for it once Apple failed to update its gruesomely obsolete Lightning-required input devices after announcing a new iMac lineup, then my editor and I settled on doing a more comprehensive rewrite of that Sept. 13 post.

10/31/2023: Senators: We Need a New Agency, Not Just an Executive Order, to Rein in AI, PCMag

I bikeshared over to the Brookings Institution to see this panel discussion advocating a bill that would set up a Digital Platform Commission to oversee large tech firms. That easy commute got me the added reward of some second-breakfast pastries and professional banter afterwards.

11/2/2023: Intuit to Scrap Mint and Move Its Users To Credit Karma, PCMag

I had seen discussions of this impending forced migration on Reddit, and then Intuit announced it in a post on its Mint blog on the afternoon of Halloween. Because I flew up to New York the next morning to cover the Brooklyn 6G Summit, I had to pluck out some free time between panels at that telecom event to quiz Intuit and then write this post.

11/4/2023: AI Pros: We’re on the Right Track (If You Ignore Some Companies), PCMag

My second flight of the week took me to Boston for the International Association of Privacy Professionals’ AI Governance event. Although I had to miss the first day’s lineup of talks, thanks to the first-world problem of having a surplus of conferences to cover, the last day’s panels yielded more than enough material for this post.

The definition of #anonymization seems to change in the EU. On #IAPP’s website @SophieStalla_B and #AndrewBurt explain what that means:

Until there is an official standard, we offer guidance of how to anonymize #data under the #GDPR:

Some interesting #Privacy legislation news from #IAPP:

"The wave of U.S. comprehensive state #privacy legislation that few ever thought would materialize in a calendar year has revealed itself. Comprehensive bills in #Montana and #Tennessee cleared their respective state legislatures 21 April — the first same-day passage for two state privacy bills — to join Indiana and Iowa among states to reach the finish line this year.

Both bills, which now await enactment pending governor's signature, carry likeness to existing state privacy laws with some originality.

Montana Senate Bill 384 aligns exclusively with the Connecticut Data Privacy Act after surprise amendments during the cross-chamber process. Tennessee's bill brings the most unique provisions, including enforcement that hinges on adoption of the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology's Privacy Framework.

If enacted, Montana's bill takes force 1 Oct. 2024 while Tennessee's follows 1 July 2025."

The European Parliament's Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs ("LIBE") released a draft resolution that does not look very kindly on the US attempt to support an adequacy determination under GDPR through an Executive Order. (It points out all the things it finds lacking in the US attempt at creating a new data privacy framework - no surprises here.) If this is indicative of the final outcome at the Commission (please, no wagering ;) ), Mr Schrems will be happy... and many of us will continue to work under the assumption that this is all going nowhere fast. Among the many failings noted: The US does not have a federal privacy law. #ADPPA was on the table in the last Congress. Are nudges from #POTUS at the #SOTU and from the #EU going to be sufficient to get the ball rolling again? Would any such law comprehensively address the outstanding concerns re: adequacy? Does failure to adopt such a law harm the global economic position of the US in the near term or in the long term? What other issues are raised by this development or by an eventual negative finding re: adequacy? #GDPR #adequacy #LIBE #DPF #dataprivacyframework #dataprivacy #privacy #data #personaldata #personaldataprotection #dataprotection #schremsii #schremsiii #EU #IAPP https://www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document/LIBE-RD-740749_EN.pdf

Or the cheapest venue because they don't face any consequences for picking Texas and worry they'll lose like $500.

Looking at the #IAPP who are notorious for not giving a fuck.

Hi, I am planning a session for #IAPP Europe 2023 in November on teaching privacy in the university context. Who is an interest speaker?

Will be focusing on studying for the CIPP/US this upcoming week during the winter break. If you have any resources reflecting changes to the most recent version please send them my way.
