But what about the elephant?<\/a>, \u00a0Cobun Zweifel-Keegan of IAPP pointed out to me that one of the changes the House Energy &amp; Commerce Committee made to proposed American Data Privacy Protection Act reminded me could exempt businesses like Cambridge Analytica from some audit and governance requirements. \u00a0What could possibly go wrong? <\/li>\n<li>In 2022, <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/policy\/3697761-tiktok-facebook-failed-to-remove-ads-spreading-election-misinformation-report\/\">Facebook and Tiktok aren&#8217;t removing ads with election disinformation<\/a>. \u00a0Just like other ads, data acquired without consent from all kinds of different sources is used to target them at the people most likely to be &#8220;persuaded&#8221;. \u00a0And another change the committee made was to <a href=\"__GHOST_URL__\/adppa-impact-assessments-and-civil-rights\/\">remove ADPPA&#8217;s requirement for third-party algorithmic impact assessments (AIAs)<\/a>. \u00a0So now Facebook gets to do their own assessment of whether there are any risks or biases in their targeting of disinfo. \u00a0Call me skeptical but I think <a href=\"__GHOST_URL__\/adppa-impact-assessments-and-civil-rights\/\">that undercuts ADPPA\u2019s ability to protect civil rights<\/a> &#8230; unless of course you trust Facebook to do these analyses. \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/time.com\/6197154\/facebook-india-human-rights\/\">Yeah, right<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So I wasn&#8217;t just chaning the subject with those disinfo posts \u2013 even though it might have looked that way! <\/p>\n<h3 id=\"the-quiet-invasion-of-%E2%80%98big-information%E2%80%99\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wired.com\/story\/big-information-relx-privacy-surveillance-data\">The Quiet Invasion of \u2018Big Information\u2019<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Sarah Lamdan on WIRED (wired.com)<\/p>\n<p>In an excerpt from her new book <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sup.org\/books\/title\/?id=33205\">Data Cartels: The Companies That Control and Monopolize Our Information<\/a>, Landam looks at Reed Elsevier LexisNexis (RELX), which she describes as &#8220;a Frankensteinian amalgam of publishers and data brokers, stitched together into a single information giant.&#8221; \u00a0Indeed.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Police have abused LexisNexis systems to spy on exes and even to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leoweekly.com\/2022\/10\/feds-ex-louisville-police-officer-used-law-enforcement-tech-to-help-hack-sexually-explicit-photos-from-women\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">blackmail women<\/a> using the personal information the company\u2019s policing products provide. Using RELX products for data surveillance is problematic because the company funnels a deluge of unfiltered, unvetted data through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/technology\/2022\/07\/15\/predictive-policing-algorithms-fail\/\">biased data-processing algorithms<\/a>.

The mistakes in RELX\u2019s data make it all the more worrisome. RELX is growing its list of data analytics products, and is even developing technology that <a href=\"https:\/\/risk.lexisnexis.com\/about-us\/press-room\/press-release\/20221018-patent-pending-token-and-de-identified-medical-claims\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">makes predictions about your health<\/a> based on your private medical records, assessing your health risks for insurers and your doctors. Imagine what could happen to your health care access if you were wrongly tagged as at risk for opioid abuse or as having a certain chronic illness.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>And as Alfred Ng describes in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2022\/08\/28\/privacy-bill-triggers-lobbying-surge-by-data-brokers-00052958\">Privacy bill triggers lobbying surge by data brokers<\/a>, RELX and data brokers have been lobbying heavily to weaken ADPPA.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The brokers, including U.K.-based data giant RELX and credit reporting agency TransUnion, want changes to the bill \u2014 such as an easing of data-sharing restrictions that RELX says would hamper investigations of crimes.
