And the best student papers:<\/p>\n
Congrats to all the winners … and wow, what a great reading list!<\/p>\n
Manuela L\u00f3pez Restrepo on NPR (npr.org)<\/p>\n
It’s a good article, with quotes from Evan Greer of Fight for the Future, law professor Hannah Bloch-Wehba, and Albert Fox Cahn of Surevillance Technology Oversight Project, but the framing is kind of weird<\/p>\n
When a lawyer was denied entry to a Rockettes show, it became a flashpoint in the debate over facial recognition technology. Does it keep people safe, or risk further harm?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The fight over facial recognition technology’s been going on for a long time … and how does keeping a lawyer who’s sued the Rockettes’ parent company from seeing one of their shows actually keep people safe? \u00a0Still, like I say, a good article!<\/p>\n

A very encouraging first step: My Health My Data\u2019s first hearing<\/a><\/h3>\n
Jon Pincus on The Nexus of Privacy (thenexusofprivacy.net)<\/p>\n
You’d think that there would be more coverage of a health data bill that responds to over 50% of the people in the US losing their rights … but as far as I can tell, almost nobody wrote about My Health My Data’s first hearing. \u00a0Interesting. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Mastodon<\/h2>\n
We tried to run a social media site and it was awful<\/a><\/h3>\n
Bryce Elder on the Financial Times ft.com<\/p>\n
Financial Times’ Alphaville blog set up a Mastodon server a couple months ago and opened up registration to everybody. What could possibly go wrong? \u00a0Compliance, security, operational, and especially legal risks \u2013 and a lot more work than they expected.<\/p>\n
[T]o summarise, Mastodon has proved more hassle than it\u2019s worth.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
So they’re announcing the shutdown of Alphaville.club (although giving people three months to migrate to another site). Easy come, easy go.<\/p>\n
