• ANA Cheers Supreme Court Order In Fight Over Cell Phone Radiation Warnings by Wendy Davis (Digital News Daily on 06/28/2018)
  

  @Cynthia Franklin -- The Supreme Court granted CTIA's petition, vacated the earlier ruling, and sent the case back to the appellate court for reconsideration. While today's order doesn't explicitly invalidate the Berkeley ordinance, the decision to remand for a new hearing leaves CTIA in a better position than before, because the group can now argue its case again -- and this time, can draw on this week's ruling involving the crisis pregnancy centers. The headline has been revised to reflect the ANA's reaction to the order.

• FCC Passes Broad Privacy Rules, Limits Behavioral Advertising By Broadband Providers by Wendy Davis (Daily Online Examiner on 10/27/2016)
  

  The rules are very broad, and go beyond a prohibition on selling data. While the FCC hasn't yet published the full regulations, a fact sheet released today specifies that opt-in consent is required before ISPs can "use" or "share" data about consumers' "sensitive" data -- which the FCC says includes Web browsing and app usage history.

• School Sued For Reading Student's Private Facebook Messages by Wendy Davis (PolicyBlog on 07/23/2009)
  

  Dan, I think this type of official activity clearly has the potential to impact the advertising and media business. A demand by a school, or employer or the government to view consumers' Facebook pages could have a long-lasting impact on people’s inclination to use social media. And that would certainly affect companies that are currently attempting to use sites like Facebook to market to consumers.
