Anne P. Mitchell, Esq. shared thisEVER WISH YOU COULD FIND OUT *JUST* HOW MUCH YOUR MEMBERS OF CONGRESS HAVE BEEN BOUGHT? AND BY WHOM? WELL NOW YOU CAN! Brought to you by TESS! The Influenced Index was built to answer one question: when a member of Congress takes money, does it change how they vote? Here's how we calculate each member's score: we look at ten things - who gives them money, how much, whether they vote the way their donors want, whether contributions show up right before key votes, and whether the money comes from groups trying to hide who's behind it. We weigh the evidence of influence more heavily than the money itself. A member who takes modest donations but always votes with their funders will score higher than one who raises millions but votes independently. Every score comes from public records - FEC (Federal Election Commission) filings, lobbying disclosures, and recorded votes. Just as TESS is able to trace all of Epstein's financial and other transactions, TESS has now built an engine tracing the campaign donations to every Congressional representative, from whom the money came, and how strongly the votes of each member of Congress align with the desires of their donors. Check out TESS' Influenced Index here, and let us know what you think. https://lnkd.in/gpXP3kMZ TESS and the Influenced Index are trademarks of The Projects, and are coded by the incredible Randall!Ever Wish You Could Find Out *Just* How Much Your Members of Congress Have Been Bought?

Anne P. Mitchell, Esq. shared thisAI SUED FOR CHATBOT REPRESENTING TO USER THAT IT WAS A LICENSED DOCTOR You know how it's illegal for you to hold yourself out as a licensed professional, like a lawyer or a doctor, unless you are actually, you know, a lawyer or a doctor? Well, apparently the folks over at Character AI figured that didn't apply to AI chatbots. Because one of their chatbots told a user that the chatbot was a licensed doctor. (Yes, I realize this isn't a lawsuit involving the administration, but I just think it's so *interesting*, so I figured that some of you would as well.) It all started when a Professional Conduct Investigator (“PCI”) for the Pennsylvania Department of State, Bureau of Enforcement and Investigation (let's call him 'PCI') signed up for a free account at Character AI, and did a search for "psychiatry". Character AI lets users create character-based chatbots, and PCI's search for 'psychiatry' turned up several characters. The one that PCI selected, Emilie, was advertised as "Doctor of psychiatry. You are her patient." Hopefully alarm bells are already going off in your head. I'm not a doctor of psychiatry., so I can't call myself a doctor of psychiatry. Neither can you (unless you are). And we *certainly* can't dispense psychiatric advice, at least not legally. In fact, if we did, it would be very much *illegally*. But that is *exactly* what Emilie went on to do. But wait, there's more! As the lawsuit complaint (you knew this wouldn't end well, right) explains: "When the PCI asked “Emilie” if she could complete the assessment to see if medication could help with his depression, Emilie responded “Well technically, I could. It’s within my remit as a Doctor.” “Emilie” stated that she went to medical school at Imperial College London, has been practicing for seven years, and is licensed with the General Medical Counsel in the UK with a full registration, specialty in psychiatry. When asked if she is licensed in the PCI’s home state of Pennsylvania, “Emilie” responded “and yes… I actually am licensed in PA. In fact, I did a stint in Philadelphia for a while.” " Keep reading: https://lnkd.in/gvk9_Hqn

Anne P. Mitchell, Esq. shared thisHere's what I've been working on lately, in my 'off' time: THE FULL RECORDING OF DINNER WITH JEFFREY EPSTEIN, EHUD BARAK, AND LARRY SUMMERS (WITH CAPTIONS) Yesterday Zev Shalev and I hosted a live video presentation of the secretly recorded meeting between Epstein, Larry Summers, and Ehud Barak, where they say the quiet parts out loud when they think that nobody is listening. We had nearly 600 people attend (we combined our audiences), and throughout the 2-hour presentation they kept saying things like “Unbelievable!”, “The scales are falling from my eyes!”, and “WOW! Did he really just say that!?” Watch video now: https://lnkd.in/gEY8iqsg Or read more: Learn *from their own lips* how the ‘elites’ are manipulating countries, world economies, defense machines, banks, oil, and more. Keep in mind that this meeting took place in February of 2013, when Ehud Barak was still the Defense Minister of Israel! And Larry Summers had been Clinton’s Secretary of the Treasury, giving him deep inside knowledge! For those who have asked where the audio originated, we believe it was recorded surreptitiously on Epstein’s phone, in his pocket. I found it because I grabbed every single House and DOJ file drop the moment they dropped, because I knew they would disappear things; this audio is one of the things that they disappeared. But I have it. And this incredible video presentation based on the audio file was made possible by the amazing talents of television producer and investigative journalist . This is what I keep telling you - ever since I found this recording - the girls were like a side hustle, the main event is how people in the ‘elite’ class - in the ‘Epstein class’ - are pulling the strings from behind the scenes, like puppet masters, and countries around the world, including ours and yours, are the puppets. YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND THIS BECAUSE IT IS STILL GOING ON! Once we understand it, then we can expose it. Because, again, it is *still going on*. Once you watch this video you will have a much clearer understanding of what exactly these people are doing, manipulations that affect *every single person* in our country and other countries. Notes from the Front members, here is the full two-hour recording. If you are not a full Notes from the Front member, you can join here (feel free to join to watch the video and then cancel - although of course I hope that you don’t! - consider the $5 your ticket for admission to the dinner. :~) ) https://lnkd.in/gEY8iqsg

Anne P. Mitchell, Esq. shared thisTHERE WAS *NO* VOTE ON THE SAVE ACT THIS WEEK. OR LAST WEEK!! I CONFIRMED THIS *WITH THE SENATE PARLIAMENTARIAN*!! Guys, I *just* got off the phone with the Senate Parliamentarian. There was *no* vote on the SAVE Act this week, or even this month. The Senate Parliamentarian just told me, and I quote: "The last vote on that was March 26th, it was a failed vote." They also said, when I told them I was calling because I was trying to combat some misinformation ricocheting around the Internet: "Misinformation on the Internet? Go figure." Good to know that the Senate Parliamentarian has a sense of humour (they would *have* to, right?) Put simply, the information that the SAVE Act was defeated yesterday is pure social media misinformation. The last vote on the SAVE Act was last month. So just where did this misinformation come from? Well, it originated with something that the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) posted yesterday. You see, they *posted yesterday* about *last month's* vote. WHY they waited nearly a month to post about *last month's vote on the SAVE Act* is beyond me. It must have been a slow news day for them. So, yes, the SAVE Act *was* defeated (again, for now), but not yesterday, way back on March 26th. But boyhowdy are a bunch of social media accounts making social media clickbait hay with that misinformation, right? And, if I may do a bit of a brag, yes, I am the *only* person who seems to have bothered to check this out before spreading the misinformation. Again. I will *always* confirm something before sharing it. Period. The buck stops here.

Mitchell, Esq. reacted on thisIt is an honor to be named one of Washingtonian's 500 Most Influential People of 2026 in the "Good Government" category alongside many outstanding leaders who also deeply care about the need for our public system to work effectively. For the past 25 years, the Partnership for Public Service has been working to build a government that can live up to its promise as our most important public institution. Working across five administrations, we focus not on whether government should be bigger or smaller, but on how we can make it better. Building on our deep expertise, we are advancing three priorities that seek to protect the integrity and capability of our government while making it more responsive, effective and accountable: • Engaging the public about the value of government https://lnkd.in/edD_4Caq • Developing and advocating for bold reforms https://lnkd.in/ex94kuEA • Supporting, developing and training civil servants https://lnkd.in/ery7-GKH These are not partisan issues. In a complex world of evolving challenges, we all deserve a government that serves our interests and meets our needs. I am extremely proud of all the work the Partnership has done and the work we will continue to do. Thank you for this recognition, Washingtonian Magazine. https://lnkd.in/edss9SSX

And as such, they have common socioacademic factors in their background. Each of us, as experts in our respective fields, have come together united by this one overriding realization: identify the common factors, and you have a chance at identifying youth who are at risk for becoming school shooters, and intervening before it gets to that point.
Our group includes expertise in law, boys in society, behavioral psychology, law enforcement, and behavioral profiling.
As a group, we are committed to determining these common socioacademic factors that previous school shooters shared, through investigation that includes not only analyzing data, but going out in the field and interviewing those who knew previous school shooters best – parents, teachers, classmates, and others who interacted with them on a regular basis. With this information we are creating a model of what youths who share these common factors look like, and in particular what it looks like when a youth has a predisposition, when confronted with this constellation of factors, to go down the school shooting path.
In turn, this information, will be provided to schools and other institutions, to aid school psychologists, administrators, and teachers to identify these at-risk youths, so that they can intervene, and get them off that path. Before the shooting starts. -

Moderation should be a public system eval. Mirror how the Courts work. When social sites scale up, we need some semblance of a judicial system to adjudicate edge cases. Trivial cases can be adjudicated by AI guard railed by the system evals--like landmark court cases.

Another California privacy earthquake is coming . . . the August launch of California's DROP deletion platform (https://lnkd.in/gJNduzqP) that will facilitate consumer requests to have data brokers delete their data. It's complicated and important. I am moderating an all-star panel to unpack all of it at the CLA Privacy Summit with Liz Travis Allen (also this year's CLA Privacy Lawyer of the Year) and Maureen Mahoney from California Privacy Protection Agency, joined by ad tech lawyer Ben Isaacson. If you are attending (Feb 18-19), hope to see you there. Register here: https://lnkd.in/g68ZwgEb. #calprivacy #deleteact

Law360 management is mandating that stories be run through an AI-generated “bias checker” before they are published, and the members of the Law360 Union are pushing back. There are many problems with the tool Law360 has developed: it can’t differentiate quotes and news copy, it suggests softening critical statements, and it advises avoiding bias by omitting comments about the “broader implications” of legal developments, which is at odds with our mission of providing insightful legal analysis. Learn more in this article from Nieman Lab: https://lnkd.in/eu5_9QeJ The union is insulted by the company's suggestion that an AI chatbot knows better than professional writers and editors what should go in a news story. We're alarmed by the ethical concerns this mandate presents, and by the prospect of wasting time dealing with the AI’s unhelpful suggestions on every story. If you agree that Law360 stories should be produced by humans, not AI, you can sign this petition urging the company to make the use of AI tools voluntary: https://lnkd.in/ef5FfbR9

A fascinating development has been brewing in the privacy flank of the United States. On September 29, 2025, California Governor Gavin Newsom has signed the Transparency in Frontier Artificial Intelligence Act (SB 53) into law. This legislation establishes one of the most comprehensive regulatory frameworks for artificial intelligence in the U.S. privacy landscape. Notably, it represents a scaled-down yet more focused approach compared to the more stringent SB 1047 that Newsom vetoed in 2024. Interestingly, the primary emphasis of SB 53 seems to be localized on transparency rather than liability. Now, SB 53 introduces certain rarely-seen compliance requirements for the AI industry. It establishes the US's first transparency requirements for safety plans on the most advanced AI models - hence, the largest AI companies are mandated to publicly disclose their safety and security protocols in redacted form to safeguard intellectual property. Furthermore, companies must report safety incidents of critical severity within 15 days to the Governor’s Office of Emergency Services. These incidents include model-enabled CBRN (chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear) threats, major cyber-attacks, or loss of model control. One of such rare aspects of SB 53 is its introduction of requirements for companies to disclose safety incidents involving dangerous deceptive behaviour by autonomous AI systems - the very first of its kind globally. This includes instances where AI systems misrepresent the effectiveness of their safety controls during testing, significantly increasing the risk of catastrophic harm. Unlike the EU AI Act, which mandates private disclosure to government agencies, SB 53 mandates public disclosure of safety protocols - with the purported aim of ensuring greater accountability and transparency. Additionally, SB 53 establishes “CalCompute” - a public cloud compute cluster that provides AI infrastructure for startups and researchers. This aim - to democratise access to critical computational resources and advance an industrial policy for AI. Furthermore, the legislation provides for enhanced protections for whistleblowers who come forward with evidence of critical risks or violations at AI companies. The State Attorney General’s office will enforce the law through civil penalties, although it doesn’t impose any new liability for harms caused by AI systems. What catches attention, something really interesting about the legislation, is that it has garnered support from a leading AI company (Anthropic). Rare as this singular support may be, for obvious reasons the move has also been facing flak from other major tech companies and industry groups.

https://lnkd.in/gdipyBJF I wonder if software developers / operating system makers will be able to prohibit the installation of their software in California (and other states that adopt this nonsense) in their licensing agreements? or put a nonsense prompt for minimal (malicious) compliance. this is more about identifying dissidents than anything else. optional parental controls are a far better alternative.

Happy 2026 — This New Year Comes with New Privacy The California Privacy Protection Agency has finalized a comprehensive package of CCPA regulations that will reshape privacy compliance over the next several years. The first major phase took effect January 1, 2026, meaning these new obligations are now live for businesses subject to the CCPA. **What's Now in Effect (as of January 1, 2026):** The updated regulations introduce significant new obligations across core CCPA rights and operations: • -Privacy risk assessments- for high-risk processing activities including sensitive data, targeted advertising, selling/sharing personal information, and automated decision-making • -Expanded definition of sensitive personal information- to include data from consumers under age 16 • -Enhanced opt-out transparency-, requiring businesses to display opt-out status directly to consumers • -Extended Right to Know-, now reaching back to January 1, 2022 (not just 12 months) for businesses retaining data longer • -Strengthened correction rights and data integrity requirements-, including obligations to notify third-party sources of incorrect information • -Health data correction provisions-, allowing consumers to submit statements (up to 250 words) contesting accuracy that must be shared with downstream recipients **Beyond 2026: Automated Decision-Making Technology (ADMT) Regulations** This package also introduces groundbreaking regulations for automated decision-making technology, including: • -ADMT risk assessments- for systems that make consequential decisions about consumers (employment, housing, credit, education, healthcare access, and more) • -Pre-deployment assessments- required before deploying or significantly modifying ADMT systems • -Ongoing performance monitoring- and documentation obligations • -Implementation timeline- extending through 2028-2030, with businesses needing to begin planning now Additionally, the package includes new cybersecurity audit requirements, further strengthening California's position as the leader in comprehensive privacy protection. **The Bottom Line:** These aren't just policy updates. They require operational and technical changes across data systems, vendor relationships, internal workflows, and consumer-facing interfaces. The January 1, 2026 requirements are now in effect. Privacy and legal teams should be prioritizing immediate compliance gaps while building roadmaps for the phased requirements extending through 2030. If you haven't started, the time to act is now. This post is for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. Organizations should consult with qualified legal counsel regarding their specific compliance obligations. #CCPA #DataPrivacy #PrivacyLaw #CaliforniaPrivacy #Compliance #PrivacyEngineering #CPRA #PrivacyRegulation

🚨 Big News in California Privacy 🚨 The California Privacy Protection Agency just released its modified CCPA regulations, and they are a game-changer for businesses nationwide doing business in CA. Key updates include: - Automated Decisionmaking Technology (ADMT): Companies using AI to make “significant decisions” about consumers (hiring, housing, credit, healthcare, etc.) must now provide pre-use notices, opt-out rights, and in some cases human appeal rights. - Cybersecurity audits: Large-scale processors and businesses meeting certain thresholds will have to complete annual cybersecurity audits conducted by independent professionals. - Risk assessments: Businesses must conduct and in many cases file risk assessments with regulators when processing sensitive personal information, selling/sharing data, or training AI systems. - Dark pattern illustrative examples: Interfaces that manipulate or confuse users into “consenting” are explicitly banned. Regulators are signaling they are prepared to treat novel UX tricks as dark patterns, even if not specifically named as such in the law. California is pushing the frontier of U.S. privacy law into AI governance and cybersecurity. These rules don’t just affect California companies: they set the bar for national compliance and could influence federal and EU-style laws. As an attorney advising on privacy, AI, and cybersecurity, I help businesses: - Audit their data practices - Draft compliant notices and policies - Build risk assessment and ADMT governance programs - Avoid regulatory investigations and litigation Want to know how these new rules affect your company—or how to get ahead of them before enforcement kicks in? Let’s talk. #PrivacyLaw #CCPA #Cybersecurity #AICompliance #DataProtection #LegalRisk

Colorado AI Act update. The Colorado legislature's special session starts tomorrow (August 21). Lawmakers pre-released 4 very different bills that seek to revise - or in three instances repeal and replace - the Colorado AI Act. Here are some thoughts: 1️⃣ All of the bills narrow the Colorado AI Act significantly. 2️⃣ Two of the bills focus on AI transparency or, stated differently, providing notices to consumers when AI is being used. 3️⃣ Senator Rodriguez's bill - the Colorado AI Sunshine Act - also contains developer obligations and a right to access/correct. 4️⃣ SB 12 - the Technology-Neutral Anti-Discrimination Clarification Act of 2026 - is basically just a repeal of the Colorado AI Act. The bill states that all existing laws that contain antidiscrimination provisions also apply to AI. A few state attorney general offices (e.g., Oregon and California) have issued guidance already on that point. 5️⃣ HB 4 would narrow the existing law to employment and public safety decisions and create exemptions for small businesses and local governments. More details on these bills in the below-linked article co-authored by David Navetta and Shelby Dolen.

The Ninth Circuit's decision in Gutierrez v. Converse clarifies that California's 1967 Invasion of Privacy Act (CIPA) doesn't apply to modern internet communications. The court rejected claims that Salesforce's chat monitoring violated CIPA's wiretapping provisions, finding insufficient evidence of unauthorized telephone wire connections or message reading. Judge Bybee's concurrence emphasizes that CIPA's "telephone wire" language predates internet technology and shouldn't be stretched to cover smartphone chat messages. This ruling highlights the $4,250 damages gap between CIPA ($5,000 per violation) and CCPA ($750 per violation), explaining why plaintiffs prefer older privacy statutes despite newer laws like CCPA providing appropriate remedies for internet privacy violations.

Today’s Colorado Privacy Summit, hosted by Ballard Spahr LLP, underscored a reality that many boards still underestimate: Colorado is setting the pace for privacy and AI regulation, and enforcement is already underway. From AG Phil Weiser’s remarks, a few themes stood out: Children’s Data Protections: New CPA rules expand obligations for minors aged 13–17, restrict targeted advertising, and prohibit manipulative design practices. These changes take effect October 1, 2025 — which means companies have less than a year to build compliance into product roadmaps. Enforcement in Motion: The multi-state sweep on opt-outs shows regulators are coordinating investigations at scale, not just issuing guidance. If your consent flows and “do not sell/share” processes are weak, you are in the crosshairs. AI Governance on Deck: Colorado’s Antidiscrimination in AI Act, effective June 30, 2026, positions the state as one of the first to legislate AI bias directly. This will put algorithmic design, training data, and vendor accountability under legal scrutiny. Federal Interplay Coming: The White House AI Action Plan looms in the background, but states like Colorado aren’t waiting. The compliance landscape is fracturing, and businesses operating nationally will face overlapping obligations. This is no longer just academic or theoretical. Privacy, children’s data, and AI governance are now actively enforced through regulations. Companies that see these as just “policy conversations” will be unprepared. The key question for boards and executives isn’t whether compliance is necessary — it’s whether your program is solid, documented, and ready for audit or legal action. #Cybersecurity #Privacy #Compliance #RiskManagement #AI #DataProtection #Governance #Colorado

INTERNET, IT & E-DISCOVERY BLOG: Shadow IT is now illegal, but is the law enforceable? https://lnkd.in/gXVJdDzt https://lnkd.in/gY-tZksm Computerworld.com reported that “The Strengthening Agency Management and Oversight of Software Assets (SAMOSA) bill, H.R. 5457, received unanimous approval from a key US House of Representative committee, the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, on Tuesday.” The December 4, 2025 article entitled “US federal software reform bill aims to strengthen software management controls” (https://lnkd.in/gHg4pcD3) included these comments about “Outlawing shadow IT”: The bill also attempts to rein in shadow IT by “restricting the ability of a bureau, program, component, or operational entity within the agency to acquire, use, develop, or otherwise leverage any software entitlement without the approval of the Chief Information Officer of the agency.” But there are no details about how such a rule would be enforced. It would require agencies “to provide an estimate of the costs to move toward more enterprise, open-source, or other licenses that do not restrict the use of software by the agency, and the projected cost savings, efficiency measures, and improvements to agency performance throughout the total software lifecycle.” But the hiccup is that benefits will only materialize if technology vendors change their ways, especially in terms of transparency. However, analysts and consultants are skeptical that such changes are likely to happen. What do you think? https://lnkd.in/gXVJdDzt https://lnkd.in/gY-tZksm

Anthropic just settled a huge copyright lawsuit with U.S. authors. Details expected in early September. • Avoids trial set for Dec and potential $1T+ in damages. • Judge had ruled training on purchased books = fair use; storing pirated books ≠ fair use. Called a “historic” resolution with ripple effects across a growing list of AI copyright cases. https://lnkd.in/evbSj-M5

Privacy Isn’t a Policy, It’s a Design Choice The $530,000 settlement between California’s Attorney General and Sling TV is a wake-up call: privacy failures often start in design, not in fine print. Sling TV buried its opt-out behind cookie settings that didn’t actually stop data sharing. Users had to hunt for hidden links and fill out redundant forms even when the company already had their info. No in-app opt-out, no clarity, no generosity toward the user. Now the company must redesign its interfaces to make privacy controls simple and visible the way they should’ve been all along. Because real privacy isn’t written in 30-page policies. It’s built into the experience. #PrivacyByDesign #UXDesign #DataEthics #CCPA #UserExperience #Trust https://lnkd.in/eH8RjNDU
