In the still-evolving legal landscape that surrounds GDPR, another reason for businesses to remain cautious is the possibility of new and stricter rules emerging in the future. One ongoing case in the UK, called Lloyd vs Google, is likely to be followed closely by many organizations. "All eyes are on Lloyd and Google to see if that class of action has legs," says McKean. "If it does, the fines are a sideshow, because they will pale in comparison to the cumulative damages claims." … [Read more...] about GDPR: Fines increased by 40% last year, and they’re about to get a lot bigger

Finally, Feds say cops’ access to your e-mail shouldn’t be time-dependent
"Congress could consider modernizing the SCA so that the government can use the same legal process to compel disclosure of addressing information associated with modern communications, such as e-mail addresses, as the government already uses to compel disclosure of telephone addressing information. Historically, the government has used a subpoena to compel a phone company to disclose historical dialed number information associated with a telephone call, and ECPA endorsed this practice. However, ECPA treats addressing information associated with e-mail and other electronic communications differently from addressing information associated with phone calls. Therefore, while law enforcement can obtain records of calls made to and from a particular phone using a subpoena, the same officer can only obtain 'to' and 'from' addressing information associated with e-mail using a court order or a warrant, both of which are only available in criminal investigations. This results in a different … [Read more...] about Finally, Feds say cops’ access to your e-mail shouldn’t be time-dependent

Though Alphabet, parent company of YouTube and Google, doesn’t break down copyright removal requests on YouTube specifically, across Google it received requests to take down content from more than 220,000 individual copyright owners in 2019.

Why would a biotech company keep a secret herd of goats?
And Santa Cruz isn't always given the chance to decide when the goats die. Research animals are covered by the Animal Welfare Act, enforced by the US Department of Agriculture. Its rules mean that, among other things, an animal suffering from problems that leave it in pain should be euthanized. But USDA inspectors have, in the past, found problems with Santa Cruz's compliance—including one goat with a large tumor that was kept alive to get more antibody out of it. … [Read more...] about Why would a biotech company keep a secret herd of goats?
