Reminded me of @reckless.bsky.social's recent interview with Adam Connover about the plight of the "content creator."

Who possibly would have thought that Google would slow walk even the court's most meager of remedies? #Maliciouscompliance is the ballgame for a monopolist. www.mlex.com/mlex/artific...

It's the last day of the @duckduckgo.com meet-up, so time for a new headshot!

Team bonding via Goldeneye. Oddjob is obviously OP, but Boris also seemed to work well for folks.

The team gets really into themes and tiny details.

Every year, @duckduckgo.com hosts an all-staff meetup to bring our otherwise remote and distributed company together. This year, we’re in Canada, outside beautiful Montreal talking about the future of privacy online (and maybe playing a bit of Goldeneye).

My favorite part of @ryanselvy.com’s takedown of @wmata.com’s design changes is the VR cameo. Good to see a Meta Quest 2 in action! www.instagram.com/reel/DdMs9wI...

It is in our nature to destroy ourselves.

Wanna bet Meta’s excited about about their pervert glasses? They’re breaking through more than previous generations of glasses, and they aren’t even trying with their privacy talking points. archive.ph/2IjmT

The King feels like an obvious choice for this reason.

Victor Morel argues that the TCF doesn’t really facilitate legal compliance at scale, and notes the anticompetitive elephant in the room at #PETS2026.

Joseph Jerome @joejerome.com · 21/07/2026

So amped to hear Franzi Roesner in person at #PETS2026 — and amped that @duckduckgo.com could sponsor the shindig!

Yana Dimova has data to back up top points: active regulators improve privacy compliance, and CMPs stink.

“Get your own lawyer!” PETS’ PR2 policy workshop is rocking @whiskeyocelot.bsky.social is discussing legal entanglements that tech researchers now face.

Never forget Facebook’s privacy dinosaur, which they scrapped when people actually started making decisions to protect their privacy.

Gotta admit that I enjoy Drudge’s tech takes.

Joseph Jerome @joejerome.com · 03/06/2026

My representative, @usrepkathycastor.bsky.social, calls the SECURE Data Act an “appalling betrayal” of American’s privacy. Watching this hearing, it’s disappointing to see how little focus has been placed on whether this bill does anything to my privacy.

020

Joseph Jerome @joejerome.com · 03/06/2026

Underappreciated point from @caitrionafitz.bsky.social: the SECURE Data Act posits itself as a “consensus bipartisan bill,” but the history of the Washington Privacy Act-model is that it was written by the very companies it purports to regulate.

Google is taking the position it should be able to see rivals’ business plans and strategy docs to challenge their ability to use any of the remedies the court ordered in the search competition case. DuckDuckGo believes this will create a chilling effect: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Wonderful Friday to take a train up to Penn Carey Law to hear Judge Mehta talk Google’s monopoly — and chat antitrust and digital competition.

Joseph Jerome @joejerome.com · 13/03/2026

Interesting paper talk from @schroeder1stabskys.bsky.social covering SCOTUS’ recent First Amendment cases, suggesting there’s a big absence of theory and a nice dose of Calvinball.

“Anyone who’s tried to share a Sharepoint file understands.” @ruchowdh.bsky.social lambasting how wasteful “technological integration” can be. I laughed hard. Very hard. From personal experience.

Does anybody else remember when Facebook was going to let users vote on policy changes?

“Nothing plus nothing equals nothing.” More and earlier light touch intervention could have headed off much of the anticompetitive corporate concentration. Jonathan Kanter is giving a masterfully entertaining seminar on digital competition at @knightgtown.bsky.social

I really love when Law & Order tackles tech.

Crazy lady on SVU claims tech companies are evil.

Can’t wait for @theverge.com to do some sort of retrospective about how Judge Mehta misread nascent competition in the AI market in 5 years… www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

If you don’t want companies sharing your search terms, give DuckDuckGo a try!

As one does with endless consent forms, I raced to click accept…on letting a bunch of adtech data brokers use medical information to target me with ads. I will never understand why this society tolerates this. Does anyone want to be marketed to based on their healthcare history?
