Privacy Concern In Google Voice Call Recording, Michael Katz, James Tuthill Nov 2009

Privacy Concern In Google Voice Call Recording, Michael Katz, James Tuthill

Michael Katz

The Federal Communications Commission, taking note of AT&T's complaint, has written to Google with questions about its call blocking. But the implications for our privacy of software-managed call services like Google Voice are a much greater threat to consumers, and that's where the FCC should direct its energy - immediately.

The Story Of Us: Resolving The Face-Off Between Autobiographical Speech And Information Privacy, Sonja West Sep 2009

The Story Of Us: Resolving The Face-Off Between Autobiographical Speech And Information Privacy, Sonja West

Sonja R. West

Increasingly more “ordinary” Americans are choosing to share their life experiences with a public audience. In doing so, however, they are revealing more than their own personal stories, they are exposing private information about others as well. The face-off between autobiographical speech and information privacy is coming to a head, and our legal system is not prepared to handle it. In a prior article, I established that autobiographical speech is a unique and important category of speech that is at risk of being undervalued under current law. This article builds on my earlier work by addressing the conflict between autobiographical …

Saving Facebook: A Response To Professor Freiwald, James Grimmelmann Dec 2008

Saving Facebook: A Response To Professor Freiwald, James Grimmelmann

James Grimmelmann

In this brief response to Professor Susan Freiwald's thoughtful comments on my article Saving Facebook, I address three of Freiwald’s points, all of which go to the heart of my project. I justify my choice of Facebook, ask when user collective action can sufficiently protect privacy, and emphasize that these privacy issues are genuinely peer-to-peer.

A Comment On James Grimmelmann’S Saving Facebook, Susan Freiwald Dec 2008

A Comment On James Grimmelmann’S Saving Facebook, Susan Freiwald

Susan Freiwald

This paper comments on Professor James Grimmelmann’s article Saving Facebook (94 Iowa L. Rev. 1137 (2009) http://http://works.bepress.com/james_grimmelmann/20). provides a useful analysis of the privacy debates surrounding this social networking web site. Grimmelmann provides valuable sociological and psychological material for future legislators to draw on in considering legislative control of Facebook and similar sites. Grimmelmann uses Facebook to provide concrete examples of privacy concerns to build on the more general framework provided by the works of Daniel Solove. The comment does take exception to Grimmelmann’s analysis in several points. Chief among these is Grinnlemann’s lack of evidence in support of his …
