FYI: CJEU blocks Sweden's GDPR exemption, reviving SEK 300,000 damages claim: Article 85 derogations now stop at journalism, hitting any firm that sells personal data behind a paywall.

Digital driver's licenses have been around for a while now. When they first came out, privacy groups expressed concerns. I haven't heard much since then, though, and NY just rolled out their version of it.
Anyone have any recommended resources (recent) or thoughts about the current benefits or risks of downloading an app and uploading my drivers license into it?

Inotiv settles cybersecurity class action — here's what boards and executives should know.
The company filed an 8-K today confirming a settlement agreement resolving litigation stemming from its August 2025 data breach. PHI and PII were among the data potentially acquired.
The settlement, if court-approved, provides class members with:
• Compensation for lost time and out-of-pocket expenses
• Recovery for extraordinary losses
• An alternative flat cash payment
• Two years of credit monitoringAttorneys' fees are capped at $275,000. The company anticipates full insurance coverage for all settlement payments.
No admission of liability. Three federal cases were dismissed and refiled in Indiana state court before this resolution.
This is a useful case study in how post-breach litigation tends to consolidate and settle — and why cyber liability insurance structuring matters from day one.

Laws are only as strong as their enforcement.
This is the core problem with most privacy laws. We need to demand better laws, with stronger, faster enforcement mechanisms.

Internet Privacy Law and Practice – The Conversation
Recently The Conversation hosted Anne Toomey McKenna, Guy Kawasaki and Florian Schaub for a discussion of Internet privacy. This was a great overview of where Internet privacy law now stands (it is not good) as well as suggestions on how to improve your privacy. You can watch a recording of the session here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPUPyj8Ltc0
If you have an interest in privacy you can follow these folks on social media. I find their commentary helpful.
You will also enjoy Guy Kawasaki’s cheerleading about the Signal application. I think it is fair to say that he is a fan of Signal’s privacy.
Fun fact: Does the name Guy Kawasaki ring a bell? Yes, he’s THAT Guy Kawasaki from the early days of Apple. We were both at Apple computer in the 80’s. I was an IT contractor working at the Bandley Drive IT building and Guy was the one who developed the Apple Evangelist program. Our paths did not cross but I definitely remember when the Apple internal communication group started promoting open positions for “Apple Evangelists.” We were all scratching our heads wondering what an Apple Evangelist was. Now we know that it was one of the very successful Apple marketing campaigns.
One thing I do share with Guy is a deep respect for the security and privacy of the Signal application. I’ve written free guides about Signal available here:
Guy has written an electronic book about Signal entitled “Everybody has Something to Hide.” It is available on Amazon as a Kindle book for about $1.00. You can get it here:
