Prof. McGeveran Comments on Uber Privacy Settlement

Professor William McGeveran, an expert in data privacy law, was quoted in Wired about the announcement of an FTC consent decree with the ride-sharing service Uber. It settles an FTC enforcement action over a breach of poorly secured customer data. McGeveran explained how the FTC has used past consent decrees, which last for 20 years, to increase its leverage over companies and improve their future privacy and data security practices.
