WeMAR is now WeSERV Association of REALTORS® with members in West Maricopa County, Southeast Maricopa County, Pinal County and Douglas, Arizona.
I attended the National Association of REALTORS® Conference and Expo in San Francisco last week. One of the sessions I attended was in regards to federal policy and data security. Alex Stamos, professor at Stanford, Fellow at the Hoover Institution and ex-head of cybersecurity for Facebook spoke on Information Warfare, Election Hacking and, and the 2020 Election. You may access the audio at playbacknar.com.
When discussing government policy and platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and Google, the discussion usually revolves around policy vs. platform. As I discussed in the November 29, 2018 blog post Personal Data as Property, an increasing number of judges, including Supreme Court judges, are attaching the bundle of property rights to private data. Read Justice Gorsuch's dissenting opinion (page.99) in Carpenter v. United States.
Here is the question: Do you want to preserve the right to have private data and documents? Of do you prefer to allow policy drawn up by the government, educational institutions such as Stanford and Harvard, and the platforms themselves, decide your rights to your private data? Is paternalism really the best answer for the individual’s wellbeing? Is platform policy to be discussed and decided without any consideration given to the private property rights affected?
