Private rights of action, such as the one being contemplate in MA's privacy bill, are some of the most important consumer enforcement tools we have for data privacy. commonwealthbeacon.org/opinion/dat...

Data privacy bill must have real teeth

 We can end Big Tech’s abuses — but only if we have the courage to stand up to the tech oligarchs and maintain the strong standards of our consumer protection law when it comes to enforcing our data privacy law.

I didn't always agree with The Post's EB as a reporter, but usually could respectfully disagree. Their ShotSpotter oped is inexcusable fearmongering. You want to talk about "plausible" ways it could help? You must at a minimum also talk about the harm of ACTUAL errors. www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...

“I hear a lot of privacy nihilism from people, like, ‘They already have our data, they’re already surveilling us,’” EFF’s @lisafemia.bsky.social told @mercurynews.com, but surveillance isn’t inevitable. “There’s a real misunderstanding of data and its sensitivity.”
