And we're back! We don't have Robert Carradine or Courtney Thorne-Smith, but we do have John and Meg! In this week's episode, we talk about:

We're happy to be back and ready to help the privacy world heal while making a literal difference...metaphorical.

A wise cyborg once said "I'll be back." That almost applies here. Season 2, coming soon...probably.

"Little Spanish Flea"

Is Die Hard a Christmas movie? What is the FTC going to do about Google and Facebook? Did ____ really show up in the finale of The Mandalorian?! We tackle the hard-hitting questions that other privacy podcasts (rightfully) said "hard pass" to.

Santa Claus is Coming to Town, Composed by J. Fred Coots and Haven Gillespie

This is the true story … of 2 people … picked to live in a conference call … work together … and have their lives taped … to find out what happens … when people stop being polite … and start getting real (about privacy). 

November is coming, but some things also happened in October. Sit down with Meg and John and learn about Section 230, the government vs. big tech, and why some companies are out a few million in cold, hard cash.

Where does data privacy fit into a world overrunning with wildfires, murder hornets, Greek alphabet hurricanes, and a global pandemic? Join the gang as they talk about iOS 14, creative difficulties, and the possibility of hope in the form of a battle royale. 

Is Privacy Shield dead? Terminated. The Court of Justice of the European Union issued its long awaited decision in "Schrems II," a landmark decision that invalidates the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield arrangement. And of course Meg and John are going to talk about the impact of this groundbreaking ruling as well as the groundbreaking 1991 classic, Terminator 2. So grab your SCCs and BCRs and come with us, if you want to listen.

In this episode, Meg and John discuss the always-hot topic of facial recognition. They dive into the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act, use of facial recognition technology by law enforcement, and all the reasons to watch the 1997 action thriller, Face/Off, starring John Travolta and Nicolas Cage. You'll swear it's like looking in a mirror only...not.

Who wants $5,000? If you use Google Chrome, you’re likely familiar with Incognito mode, which, turns out, may not be as private as you thought. 

In this episode, Meg and John discuss the reasons that Google is (back) in court, how you could get $5000, and why Season 6 of The Simpsons was fantastic.
