Hello Again, All:
Last week, on Twitter, I promised to try to post the California Lawyers Association Privacy Working Group’s comments on the California Consumer Privacy Act. I made it. Before you skip directly to the comments, I wanted to briefly discuss my specific role and also make a suggestion (it’s my blawg, so I get to do that!)
My colleagues are attorneys who immersed themselves in technology and the law. In my case the opposite is true. I’m a technology professional who passed the California Bar when I was 44 years old (2007, for the curious). As such, I became the ‘roving technology consultant’ on the various aspects of this law. In short, I worked with several of our writing subgroups to identify where the concepts in the law don’t mesh with how the technology actually works.
