A full room joined Professors @daniel-solove.bsky.social @aliciasn.bsky.social, @margotkaminski.bsky.social & @paulohm.bsky.social to reflect on privacy in the age of AI.

Can law keep pace with tech? Can it create the right incentives?

Books were signed.
Ideas will carry forward.

Scraping, which is essential for AI, is inconsistent with nearly all core privacy principles in privacy laws.

The Supreme Court has yet to decide whether the FTC can remain independent, but it seems that it has already made up its mind and just wants time to conjure up something to dress it all up. The case seems like a charade at this point.

Without an independent FTC, will it be credible enough to enforce the EU-US Data Privacy Framework? The US will lose its most effective federal regulator of privacy. My article about FTC privacy reg with @hartzog.bsky.social is here: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

The FTC and the New Common Law of Privacy

One of the great ironies about information privacy law is that the primary regulation of privacy in the United States has barely been studied in a scholarly way

I am skeptical of whether the FTC could be a credible regulator without independence. This is quite devastating because the FTC performs a key role for ensuring consumer protection, especially privacy protection. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/22/u...

Score a victory for Kimmel against ABC, but many others have been wrongly terminated, including many faculty and staff at universities. These cases lack the attention of the Kimmel case but are essential for the future of free speech and academic freedom.

To keep pace with the latest trends in constitutional jurisprudence, we need a new genre of legal scholarship called "emergency law review articles" where we just state conclusions without reasons or arguments.
