Talked with the @washingtonpost.com this week about the 23&Me bankruptcy. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202... One in the weeds question for me is the applicability of California's Genetic Information Privacy Act if the assets are sold off.

In 2016-2017, I interviewed a handful of 23&Me customers for my Ph.D dissertation research on privacy, personal disclosure and power. I asked my interviewees about their concerns should something 'bad' happen to the company, like, oh, going bankrupt, and the impact on their genetic data.

I'm preparing to teach a class at Stanford on dark patterns/manipulative design in January-AFAIK the first class to be fully devoted to the topic at a university (at least in the US!). If you have a recent paper, a case, an example, or anything else that you think I should include, feel free to LMK!

Shout out to my Stanford colleague and friend Dan Ho, the kind of lawyer who actually reads his closing docs, and by nature of being a law professor turns them into an impactful research project. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...
