  16. 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.

  20. 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:

    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:

    MyPersonalPrivacy.net

    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:

  27.

  28. Colombia takes data privacy seriously 🇨🇴

    Law 1581 of 2012, fully regulated by Decree 1377 of 2013, protects personal data as a constitutional right under habeas data. Influenced by EU privacy principles but adapted to Latin American legal traditions, it gives people the right to access, correct, and control their data.

    Enforced by the Superintendencia de Industria y Comercio — with real penalties for non-compliance.

  29. Canada’s main privacy law, PIPEDA, remains the backbone of its data protection framework. While modernization efforts like Bill C-27 stalled in 2025, PIPEDA still governs how personal data is handled and transferred 🍁

    As Canada and Mexico deepen economic ties, privacy compliance increasingly affects cloud services, HR systems, analytics, and cross-border digital trade.
    Data governance is now part of trade strategy.

  30. Australia’s new Social Media Minimum Age law will bar under-16s from holding accounts on major social media platforms starting Dec 10, 2025.

    Platforms must take “reasonable steps” to prevent underage access — and fines for failure can reach A$49.5M.

    Messaging, education, gaming, and some community platforms are exempt — but for large social networks, this is a major privacy + age-assurance compliance shift.

  31. I feel this needs to be repeated 🍪

    The annoyance of cookie banners
    doesn't come from the regulations, but from the malicious compliance of the corporations who want to exploit your personal data.

    No data-harvesting cookies = No banner.
    Simple.

    My websites have no cookie banners,
    because they don't use any non-essential cookies and don't track visitors.

    Yours shouldn't either.

  32. It's not because an application exists and you can use it that it is legal to use it "as is" everywhere.

    Yes, really. Many companies ignore laws, are incredibly negligent, or throw the responsibility on the user... who never reads the Terms of Service, and infringes the law.

    Many usages of AI tools fit this description. Read the Terms of Services of the ones you use before using them.

  33. Just so you know, we need to push back against privacy-invasive regulations.
    Each and every time.

    Shrugging and using a VPN will not save you. They will come for the VPNs next.
    Then the ISPs.
    Then more.

    Pushing against unjust laws matters.
    The tools alone will not save you in the long run.

  34. “Then, I encountered a bigger surprise: the device was running Google Cartographer, a professional-grade SLAM system used for autonomous mapping and robotics.

    This inexpensive vacuum was utilizing top-tier robotics software to construct a live 3D map of my home.”

    Surprise!

  35. I had to report another company to a data protection authority for failing at basic "privacy policying."

    I gave them so many chances to correct the problem before reporting. Basically, free privacy consulting, but they heard nothing. It's just irrational at this point.

  36. If someone contacts your organization anonymously from an alias email address to request further details about how you collect and process a certain type of data that isn't described in your privacy policy as mandated, be wary.

    It is best to answer promptly, truthfully, and thoroughly.

    It could be a privacy professional about to report you to the data protection authority.
