Finding the Tech Policy Community with Ashkhen Kazaryan [S4E07]

Kirk Nahra

Jordan Wrigley

Welcome back to the Tech Policy Grind! Today, class is in session for Health Privacy 101 with Jordan Wrigley and Kirk Nahra.In May 2022, the leaked SCOTUS decision overturning Roe v. Wade shocked the nation. About a month later, the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization case officially overturned the constitutional right to abortion. Last year, we talked with EFF’s Eva Galperin on the Tech Policy Grind about how technology could amplify surveillance on women’s reproductive health in a Post-Dobbs world. Around the same time, The Federal Trade Commission, the White House, civil society, industry, and lots of other stakeholders got to thinking - what is the role of digital privacy and security in protecting women from being prosecuted by their state or local governments for receiving life-saving care?In this episode, we revisit that subject, under a broader lens. Reema sits down with Kirk Nahra, partner and co-chair of the privacy and cybersecurity practice at Wilmer Hale, a large international law firm, and Jordan Wrigley, a health privacy researcher at the Future of Privacy Forum, who is leading FPF’s Health Privacy Working Group. Kirk and Jordan are some of the leading health data privacy experts in the country. We get into what the American legal landscape looks like for health privacy, some of the FTC’s recent actions in this space, and more.Check out the Foundry on Instagram, Twitter, or LinkedIn and subscribe to our newsletter!If you’d like to support the show, donate to the Foundry here or reach out to us at foundrypodcasts@ilpfoundry.us.Thanks for listening, and stay tuned for our next episode!

Reema chats with Cindyneia Cantanhêde, a Brazilian data privacy attorney based in Sao Paulo, who was at the conference as an ICANN Fellow (along with Reema).The WiCyS Conference brings together women in cybersecurity to dig into substantive, technical conversations on what's going on in the field. But it also is a space for women (who only represent 25% of the cybersecurity industry) and allies to connect and get inspired about retention and advancement in the field. Reema chats with Lynn Dohm, Executive Director of WiCyS about the conference's history and goals. Then, she talks to Anna Lainfiesta, Security Team Lead at Zendesk about her experience as a WiCyS conference first-timer.

But it also is a space for women (who only represent 25% of the cybersecurity industry) and allies to connect and get inspired about retention and advancement in the field. Reema chats with <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/lynndohm/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Lynn Dohm</a>, Executive Director of WiCyS about the conference's history and goals. Then, she talks to Anna Lainfiesta, Security Team Lead at Zendesk about her experience as a WiCyS conference first-timer. Anna is also the Secretary of the <a href="https://www.wicys.org/data-privacy-policy-and-law-affiliate/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">WiCyS Privacy, Law and Policy Affiliate</a>. Finally, Reema and Lama head to the Global Privacy Summit, where they led a session (along with Foundry Fellow Meri Baghdasaryan). Lama catches up with Leona Lewis, Senior Counsel, Privacy, Ethics and Compliance at Thrasio; Saleela Khanum Salahuddin, Attorney Advisor at Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board (PCLOB); and former Foundry Fellow Jacqueline Ahn, Senior Attorney of Data Privacy at IBM.

Will the U.S. Ban TikTok? With Adam Kovacevich and Carl Szabo [S4E00]

Thoughtful and insightful, the podcast does a phenomenal job of breaking down emerging issues in tech law and policy. The hosts are personable and friendly, and ask the guests great clarifying questions about the more nuanced details of topics that listeners may not be as familiar with. As a recent graduate who is extremely interested in getting into tech policy, I particularly appreciate the standard questions to guests about how they started working in tech law/policy and what books they are reading. I also think it would be great if they continued featuring bonus episodes when possible (like those from SOTN) - I would love to hear more from other conferences, talks, etc. I believe they show the scope of dialogues in the tech policy world, and give listeners a peek into what goes on in those dialogues even if they are not able to attend themselves. Can’t wait for next season!

Highly recommend!

The range of interviews and topics covered is incredible! I highly recommend this podcast if you want to keep up-to-date on recent developments in tech law &amp; policy or just listen in about awesome work attorneys are doing in the space. Keep up the great work!

Ending the Season with A Very Wonky California Consumer Privacy Act [S1E20]

Lee Tien

Hey Listeners, welcome to Tech Policy Grind, a project of the Internet Law and Policy Foundry. My name is Emory Roane, and today should be a treat for privacy nerds out there! This is another conversation brought to you from the floor of State of the Net 2019 - an internet policy conference held each year in Washington D.C.This is an interview - or really, a "privacy advocates react" to State of the Net - with regular cohost Joe Jerome of the Center for Democracy and Technology, and Lee Tien, senior staff attorney at the Electronic Frontier Foundation. Together, we have a fairly wonky dive into some of the updates and confusion in the California Consumer Privacy Act, and some really interesting discussion about the role predictability should play in policy. We briefly cover the recent Illinois supreme court case Rosenbach v. Six Flags and the importance for the Biometric Information Privacy Act. And of course! We place our bets on whether (or not) we'll see a federal privacy law this year.Honestly it was a real pleasure for me to get to talk to Lee and bring you along for the conversation. Lee is someone who I aspire to be like, he is a brilliant speaker and an expert in all the coolest areas of law. If you like this, and I hope you do, let us know and follow us on twitter @TechPolicyGrind. With nothing else to introduce, I hope you enjoy this conversation with Lee Tien, at State of the Net, 2019.

CCPA, GDPR, BIPA and more with EFF’s Lee Tien at SOTN2019 [S2E02]

Listeners! We're back! Tech Policy Grind has had a long, relaxing (well, not very relaxing) summer... and fall hiatus - but we're back (and if I'm honest and modest)better than ever, and excited to bring you a batch of new interviews with tech policy nerds, for all you tech policy nerds and aspiring nerds out there.This is Tech Policy Grind, a podcast from the Internet Law and Policy Foundry. Every week - oh yeah, that's a thing now - we'll be releasing new interviews and conversations with folks working at the intersection of law and technology. We'll talk about the fascinating work that they're doing, and the lessons they learned along the way.This week, we're starting things off with an interview with an FTC Commissioner! We were so, so lucky to talk with Commissioner Rebecca Slaughter this year at State of the Net, 2019.Listeners from last year may remember that State of the Net is an Internet Policy conference held each year in Washington D.C. by the Internet Education Foundation, the Internet Law and Policy Foundry's parent organization. Over the next few weeks we'll be releasing more interviews from State of the Net where we talked - quite a bit- about privacy - it's kind of a big deal this year. We also talked about platform liability, the California Consumer Privacy Act, and, well, the state of the internet in 2019.This week, though, we talk about things I know next to nothing about, but that makes it all the more fascinating. Commissioner Slaughter tells us what it's like to go through a government shutdown, and we get a lesson on vertical and horizontal mergers - basically, are we thinking about the harms properly when a Google buys a Whatsapp don't at me - and are we holding these big mergers to account after the fact? Antitrust law, it turns out, is awesome. we also, of course, glean any career lessons we can from the Commissioner, who has some tips on how to find not just a mentor, but a champion.Don't forget to follow us on twitter, and consider rating and reviewing us on iTunes if you like the show - it means a lot, and can help make this show a sustaining feature of the Internet Law and Policy Foundry.So! Sit back, or keep doing what you're doing! Keep hustling! it's 2019 - or, 2020 if you're listening to this long after release for some reason. In which case, thank you, you keep doing your thing too, and enjoy a conversation with FTC Commissioner Slaughter at State of the Net 2019.

Listeners! We're back! Tech Policy Grind has had a long, relaxing (well, not very relaxing) summer... and fall hiatus - but we're back (and if I'm honest and modest)better than ever, and excited to bring you a batch of new interviews with tech policy nerds, for all you tech policy nerds and aspiring nerds out there. This is Tech Policy Grind, a podcast from the Internet Law and Policy Foundry. Every week - oh yeah, that's a thing now - we'll be releasing new interviews and conversations with folks working at the intersection of law and technology. We'll talk about the fascinating work that they're doing, and the lessons they learned along the way. This week, we're starting things off with an interview with an FTC Commissioner! We were so, so lucky to talk with Commissioner Rebecca Slaughter this year at State of the Net, 2019. Listeners from last year may remember that State of the Net is an Internet Policy conference held each year in Washington D.C. by the Internet Education Foundation, the Internet Law and Policy Foundry's parent organization. Over the next few weeks we'll be releasing more interviews from State of the Net where we talked - quite a bit- about privacy - it's kind of a big deal this year. We also talked about platform liability, the California Consumer Privacy Act, and, well, the state of the internet in 2019. This week, though, we talk about things I know next to nothing about, but that makes it all the more fascinating. Commissioner Slaughter tells us what it's like to go through a government shutdown, and we get a lesson on vertical and horizontal mergers - basically, are we thinking about the harms properly when a Google buys a Whatsapp don't at me - and are we holding these big mergers to account after the fact? Antitrust law, it turns out, is awesome. we also, of course, glean any career lessons we can from the Commissioner, who has some tips on how to find not just a mentor, but a champion. Don't forget to follow us on twitter, and consider rating and reviewing us on iTunes if you like the show - it means a lot, and can help make this show a sustaining feature of the Internet Law and Policy Foundry. So! Sit back, or keep doing what you're doing! Keep hustling! it's 2019 - or, 2020 if you're listening to this long after release for some reason. In which case, thank you, you keep doing your thing too, and enjoy a conversation with FTC Commissioner Slaughter at State of the Net 2019.

Daphne Keller

Did you know that a little over a week ago the European Union decided to move forward with their latest proposed updates to the EU Copyright Directive, which includes requirements for websites to affirmatively scan for copyrighted content - it's been just about universally lambasted as internet-destroyingly awful - but all signs indicate that the EU is barreling ahead with it. Well, we're not going to talk about *that* today, but something else that's just around the corner in the EU, and is *EVEN WORSE*. It's generically called "terrorist content regulation" and it's Article 13 on steroids, at least according to our guest today. My name is Emory Roane, and you're listening to Tech Policy Grind, a podcast from the Internet Law and Policy Foundry. This is another conversation recorded at State of the Net 2019 - this time with the Director of Intermediary Liability at The Center for Internet and Society at Stanford, Daphne Keller. @daphnehkI had a great time talking with Daphne, and I think you'll enjoy this dive into some of the biggest NON-PRIVACY issues facing the internet (I swear there's no privacy talk in this episode at all (or hardly at all))- from the already mentioned terrorist content regulation to the question of whether or not Twitter is - or should be - considered the modern day public square, and what that means for free speech and censorship.I'm going to get right into it, but don't forget to follow us on twitter at @techpolicygrind, as well as the Internet Law and Policy Foundry at @ilpfoundry - we'll be releasing information soon about applying for the next class of fellows - so all you early career professionals listening, and especially any students out there - stay tuned. Now, I hope you enjoy this conversation with Daphne Keller at State of the Net, 2019.
