New article: ‘Weathering a privacy storm’

I’ve done a lot of privacy design work this year, much of it with my friends at Good Research. I worry many designers and PMs think privacy’s a solved problem: comply with regs, ask for user consent if in doubt, jam extra info in a privacy policy.

Nathan from Good Research and I analysed a recent lawsuit (LA v Weather Channel/IBM) and found privacy notices and OS consent prompts may not be the saviours you think they are. Not only that, but enforcement is now coming from a wider range of sources. Time to take things more seriously.
