In case you missed my webinar on Privacy Law and the First Amendment, you can watch the replay here. I had a great discussion with Gautam Hans (Cornell Law) about several recent First Amendment cases that intersect with privacy law — the NetChoice cases.
Also, if you’re interested, I wrote a blog post about the CAADC case., NetChoice v. Bonta.

I’m very pleased to post a draft of my forthcoming essay with Professor Woodrow Hartzog (BU Law), Kafka in the Age of AI and the Futility of Privacy as Control, 104 B.U. L. Rev. (forthcoming 2024). It’s a short engaging read – just 20 pages! We argue that although Kafka shows us the plight of the disempowered individual, his work also paradoxically suggests that empowering the individual isn’t the answer to protecting privacy, especially in the age of artificial intelligence.
You can download the article for free on SSRN. We welcome feedback.

Here’s a roundup of my cartoons, webinars and blog posts for 2023.
Here’s a roundup of my privacy training and whiteboard in 2023. I created short courses for AI and for technology and data ethics. These courses are partially created with AI. The narrator is AI, and some of the images in the AI course are created by AI. The Technology and Data Ethics course has both the narrator and images created by AI. I used a claymation style, and I think that the AI really did a great job (though it took countless attempts in prompting and many tries to get things right).
I created regional whiteboards and courses (Latin America and Asia). These whiteboards and courses summarize general themes and trends in privacy laws in these world regions.
Plus, I created more courses in a series on privacy and data management topics: Secondary Use and Data Minimization. My goal with this series is to cover the basic concepts and practices in a privacy program. Previous courses include Data Mapping, Vendor Management, Data Protection Impact Assessments, Data Subject Rights, Data Retention, and other topics.
Here’s a roundup of my scholarship for 2023. With Professor Paul Schwartz, I published a new edition of my casebook, Information Privacy Law as well as new editions of the topical paperbacks (will be in print by the end of December). One article came out in print, and I have several paper drafts in various stages of the publication process. See below for details.

In case you missed my webinar on Privacy Law in the 21st Century, you can watch the replay here. I had a great discussion with Salomé Viljoen (Michigan Law), Ari Waldman (U.C. Irvine Law), and Margot Kaminski (Colorado Law) about how privacy law has been evolving.
I’m excited to share a press release from GW Law School announcing our new GW Center for Law and Technology. Through the Center, we’re building out our privacy and tech curriculum and activities. Recently, we have done the following:
Here are some notable books on privacy and security from 2023. To see a more comprehensive list of nonfiction works about privacy and security for all years, Professor Paul Schwartz and I maintain a resource page on Nonfiction Privacy + Security Books.
