They're US companies, which means the US has a variety of options to influence its operations. While there are a variety of risks that such companies present, Kaspersky is in the qualitatively different situation that a different nat

It's an increase in a particular treatment for a disease, which is only a contingent proxy for the disease itself. A change on that scale could plausibly be explained by a change in the standard approach to treatment or diagnostic cr

Some of the other comments here are discussing the extent and ways in which games do or don't succeed in modeling real conflict. Having read the article, I think that's missing the forest for the trees. The thesis of this article

Well, we'll see what the agreement actually entails. But I am deeply skeptical of any agreement that doesn't also include legislative proposals on the US side. The EU court rulings on US <--> EU data transfers observes, co

Of note: one of the co-authors of this article, Patrick Toomey, is a US Senator (R-Pennsylvania). The fact that someone in Congress is involved in this issue increases, however marginally, the odds that it will be addressed. [edit] It appea

One person's junk is another's treasure; one person's "normalized data" is another person's "you removed the one data point I cared most about!" One thing this article is reinforcing to me is the valu

You are correct, and that's the main reason why some tech companies lobby in favor of Federal privacy legislation. This also brings up an important issue: Local Pre-emption. A federal law may, if Congress chooses , say that "st

One of the columns in the linked table is "Private Right of Action" (under Rights of Consumer). I absolutely agree this is the single most important aspect of any privacy bill. The IAPP is a licensing and education organization,

GA4's IP Anonymization is good but not sufficient. Your IP Address is exposed to Google's servers, and is redacted after collection. Per GDPR, this still counts as Google processing your IP Address. It is not clear what actually

It sounds like you were working on app tracking rather than web tracking, so your timeline makes more sense. The various GA SDKs for different platforms stopped working a few years ago, forcing a move to firebase-which-is-now-GA. On the web

Personal opinion, Google is catastrophically shooting themselves in the foot here, and could lose their market dominance. GA's second-biggest moat (behind being free) is its existing install base. It's already in place on approx

It's not hard for me to imagine. The closest gas station to my house has ads on all the gas pumps. The worst part is that the sound from all the pumps are slightly out of sync from each other. Which I assume will happen with these thin

IANAL. I do have a certification data privacy, although it is for US and not Europe. tl;dr EU-located servers are neither necessary, nor sufficient. Recent decisions by courts and regulators (many in the past month or so) have clarified how

This gets back to GP's point about GDPR vs ePrivacy Directive. Legitimate Interest is a separate Legal Basis under GDPR (and does in fact allow opt-out). But the ePrivacy Directive does not recognize Legitimate Interest. You cannot use

A corporation is a legal simulacrum of a person. Personally I think the best you can hope for is a simulacrum of morality. I really do view them as automata, without an "internal personhood," and I think that influencing their beh

I see where you're coming from, but that's not quite true. GDPR basically puts international transfers into two buckets: Adequacy Decision, and Other. Adequacy decision means the other country's laws are "good enough,&qu

You probably don't have to do anything. I am of the opinion that blocking EU traffic potentially increases your exposure to GDPR, but this is not settled law. GDPR's territorial scope applies to international Controllers who are
