Here are some of highlights of my privacy training, writing, resources, and humor from 2020.
Scholarship
The Myth of the Privacy Paradox
In this article, I deconstruct and critique the privacy paradox and the arguments made about it. The “privacy paradox” is the phenomenon where people say that they value privacy highly, yet in their behavior relinquish their personal data for very little in exchange or fail to use measures to protect their privacy.
7th Edition of Information Privacy Law Casebook
The Seventh Edition of Information Privacy Law has been revised to include the California Consumer Privacy Act, the GDPR, Carpenter, state biometric data laws, and many other new developments.
New Casebook – EU Data Protection and the GDPR
Paul Schwartz and I have launched a new casebook, EU Data Protection and the GDPR.
Developed from the casebook Information Privacy Law, this paperback contains key cases and materials focusing on privacy issues related to the GDPR and data protection in the European Union. Topics covered include the GDPR, Schrems cases, the right to be forgotten, and international data transfers. The book also contains key excerpts from the GDPR.
Updated Line of Paperback Privacy Law Casebooks
Paul Schwartz and I published updated versions of our line of paperback privacy law casebooks. These paperbacks are excerpted parts of our Information Privacy Law casebook, which we recently published in a new 7th edition. This new edition of the casebook has been revised to include the California Consumer Privacy Act, the GDPR, Carpenter, state biometric data laws, and many other new developments.
Special Projects
The EyeMonger
In November, I published a children’s book about privacy. The Eyemonger is available on
ALI Data Privacy Principles
The ALI Data Privacy Principles came out in print. Professor Paul Schwartz and I were the co-reporters on the project. With a great team of advisers plus the helpful comments of ALI members, we drafted this document, which is similar to a model code. We have a forthcoming essay coming out in 2021 in the UCLA Law Review about the project and its black letter principles: ALI Data Privacy: Overview and Black Letter Text.
