Patrick TownsendInternet Privacy Law and Practice – The Conversation
Recently The Conversation hosted Anne Toomey McKenna, Guy Kawasaki and Florian Schaub for a discussion of Internet privacy. This was a great overview of where Internet privacy law now stands (it is not good) as well as suggestions on how to improve your privacy. You can watch a recording of the session here:

If you have an interest in privacy you can follow these folks on social media. I find their commentary helpful.
You will also enjoy Guy Kawasaki’s cheerleading about the Signal application. I think it is fair to say that he is a fan of Signal’s privacy.
Fun fact: Does the name Guy Kawasaki ring a bell? Yes, he’s THAT Guy Kawasaki from the early days of Apple. We were both at Apple computer in the 80’s. I was an IT contractor working at the Bandley Drive IT building and Guy was the one who developed the Apple Evangelist program. Our paths did not cross but I definitely remember when the Apple internal communication group started promoting open positions for “Apple Evangelists.” We were all scratching our heads wondering what an Apple Evangelist was. Now we know that it was one of the very successful Apple marketing campaigns.
One thing I do share with Guy is a deep respect for the security and privacy of the Signal application. I’ve written free guides about Signal available here:
Guy has written an electronic book about Signal entitled “Everybody has Something to Hide.” It is available on Amazon as a Kindle book for about $1.00. You can get it here:
