National Public Data Breach


Listen Later

The headlines have been on fire with stories about 3 billion people’s data being leaked from a company you’ve never heard of. But like many such stories, the mainstream media gets a lot of the important details wrong and glosses over a lot of the important nuances.

In other news: Illinois waters down its landmark biometric information law; US court rules geofence warrants are unconstitutional; FTC to investigate :surveillance pricing” and files rule impacting shady product reviews; the CFPB cracks down on some types of consumer data sales; and Consumer Reports evaluates several top data deletion services.
