In this episode of Tech Policy Grind, today’s host, Steve Chu, discusses modern AI use cases and applications within the legal world with Professor David Opderbeck. Steve Chu and Professor Opderbeck discuss the proper and improper applications of AI technologies by attorneys, judges, politicians, and others before turning to national policies that have enabled both positive uses of AI in the legal industry and its misuses.
In our second episode on Cross Border Data Flows, Victoria Ferrari and Guest Amanda Molina tackle the impact of Cross Border Data Flows on AI development.
In a world where data moves faster than any border checkpoint, global laws and cybersecurity frameworks are struggling to keep up. From Europe’s GDPR to China’s data localization rules to emerging U.S. approaches, the digital landscape is a patchwork of competing philosophies about who controls data and why.
In this episode, host Victoria Ferrari and guest Amanda Molina break down what cross-border data transfers actually mean, why global rules remain fragmented, and how different legal traditions shape data governance. As governments increasingly restrict data flows in the name of national security, are we entering an era of digital nationalism where data sovereignty belongs to the state rather than the individual?
What does this mean for companies navigating conflicting laws and for individuals whose data moves across borders? And can the world move toward shared frameworks for privacy, security, and governance, or are we headed for a more divided digital future?
In this episode of Tech Policy Grind, the podcast goes international to discuss cross-border data flows! Darren Chng helps us unpack how personal data travels when we stream Netflix abroad, shop online, store files in the cloud, or what happens when those data flows collide with conflicting national laws, security risks, and infrastructure challenges.
How do we protect young people online without sacrificing privacy and autonomy? In our latest episode of the Tech Policy Grind, Justice Shannon sits down with Dr. Jennifer King, Privacy and Data Policy Fellow at the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence, for a nuanced conversation about age assurance, the current practices, and the emerging practices used to verify user age in online and offline spaces. Whether you’re a policymaker, technologist, or just curious about the future of privacy online, this episode is not to be missed.
What do First Amendment rights have in common with Calvin and Hobbes? In Free Speech Coalition v. Paxton, the First Amendment is on trial, and according to Prof. Eric Goldman, it looks like the referees are playing Calvinball. On the latest episode of Tech Policy Grind, hosted by Justice Shannon, Prof. Goldman, a leading First Amendment scholar and law professor, breaks down the Supreme Court’s fractured logic in this pivotal case. His take? Justice Thomas didn’t follow precedent, he put it in a blender, cherry-picking fragments of past rulings to justify a result that was already decided. It’s a bold critique of how the Court handles First Amendment rights in the digital age and a warning for the future of content regulation, free speech, and tech policy.
In this episode of Tech Policy Grind, the conversation delves into the significant antitrust case against Google led by the US Department of Justice. The discussion covers the historical context of antitrust actions, the proposed remedies aimed at breaking Google’s monopoly, and the implications for competition in the tech industry. Joe Jerome from DuckDuckGo provides insights into the complexities of the case, the importance of technical expertise in enforcement, and the potential impact on consumers and the future of AI development. The episode concludes with reflections on the global regulatory landscape and the ongoing nature of the legal proceedings. This episode was recorded on November 22, 2024 and is being published ahead of Google’s response, which comes out on December 20, 2024.
Today on the Tech Policy Grind: Our editor, Evan, bids the show farewell for his new role in corporate privacy compliance.

Welcome back to the Tech Policy Grind Podcast by the Internet Law and Policy Foundry! On this week’s episode, Evan Enzer, an ILPF fellow and car-centric SoCal Native, met up with Adonne Washington (Future of Privacy Forum) and Andrea Amico (Privacy4Cars) to cover our introduction to vehicle privacy, a fast-emerging market in the broader privacy law and policy profession.
They get into Andrea’s new project, VehiclePrivacyReport.com; FPF’s excellent introductory resources; Mozilla’s latest edition of Privacy Not Included; and the California Privacy Protection Agency’s (CPPA’s) auto company enforcement sweep. The trio also briefly mentions Evan’s Wiretaps on Wheel’s whitepaper. These resources should be enough to bring us up to speed (puns always intended) on car privacy.

Welcome back to the Tech Policy Grind! Today, class is in session for Health Privacy 101 with Jordan Wrigley and Kirk Nahra.In May 2022, the leaked SCOTUS decision overturning Roe v. Wade shocked the nation. About a month later, the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization case officially overturned the constitutional right to abortion. Last year, we talked with EFF’s Eva Galperin on the Tech Policy Grind about how technology could amplify surveillance on women’s reproductive health in a Post-Dobbs world. Around the same time, The Federal Trade Commission, the White House, civil society, industry, and lots of other stakeholders got to thinking - what is the role of digital privacy and security in protecting women from being prosecuted by their state or local governments for receiving life-saving care?In this episode, we revisit that subject, under a broader lens. Reema sits down with Kirk Nahra, partner and co-chair of the privacy and cybersecurity practice at Wilmer Hale, a large international law firm, and Jordan Wrigley, a health privacy researcher at the Future of Privacy Forum, who is leading FPF’s Health Privacy Working Group.

Welcome back to the Tech Policy Grind Podcast by the Internet Law and Policy Foundry!
In this episode, Class 4 Fellow Lama Mohammed interviews Sophia Baik, a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity and incoming Assistant Professor at the Department of Communication Studies at the University of San Diego.
Episode 15 follows Sophia and Lama in a detailed discussion on the future of the American Data Protection and Privacy Act (ADPPA) — the United States’ most comprehensive federal privacy legislation to date — by breaking the bill down, highlighting its significance and the future of the bill when Congress comes back from the August recess.
While the rest of the world responds to the growing ubiquitous nature of technology through its enactment of comprehensive privacy bills, the United States continues to fall behind by failing to pass federal privacy legislation. Our experts use this opportunity to dive into why the ADPPA is such a monumental bill, especially as it relates to protecting civil rights and liberties in the digital era.
Although the bill is at risk of failing to pass to the House, Sophia provides listeners with recommendations on how to get involved with the privacy movement and how to protect our online data and digital identities.
You can connect with Sophia on Twitter (@jeeyunbaik) and read all her amazing published research on her Google Scholar profile.
Thanks for listening, and stay tuned for our next episode!
