- Tech Solutions To Limit Kids’ Access To Social Media Are Fraught With Problems, Including Privacy Risks [theconversation.com]
"A campaign to block children’s access to social media to limit online harms and unhealthy internet use is picking up momentum in Australian politics. The current age limit for platforms such as Facebook, Instagram and TikTok is 13, but some state governments are calling to raise this age to 16" — which, like other similar campaigns around the world, would rely on age verification technology. Critics "raise privacy concerns about uploading personal documents (like passports) and providing details unrelated to age (like credit card numbers) to technology companies," among other concerns.
- New State Privacy Laws Creating Complicated Patchwork of Privacy Obligations [reuters.com]
"With the passage of 19 comprehensive state data privacy laws...the long-feared 'patchwork' of state privacy laws is quickly becoming unmanageable for many U.S. companies" — and it can be challenging for interested consumers to keep up with. Two privacy, security and data protection attorneys break it down for Reuters, saying that "time will tell whether this patchwork finally moves Congress to pass a federal privacy law."
- One Person, One Price [prospect.org]
Ever wonder how digital surveillance can affect your daily life? “Businesses have always wanted to maximize what they can induce people to pay, trying to walk right up to the limit before a customer says no. But everyone has a different pain point, and companies were deterred from purely individualizing what they charge, because of publicly posted prices and consumer anger over the unfairness of being charged differently for the same product. Today, the fine-graining of data and the isolation of consumers has changed the game.” The American Prospect has more.
