Klein The United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit recently issued a decision with far reaching Telephone Consumer Protection Act ("TCPA") implications. Specifically, the Second Circuit's decision interpreting what constitutes an automatic telephone dialing system ("ATDS") for TCPA law purposes bucks a recent trend that had narrowed the scope of equipment that courts deem to be an ATDS. For what reason did the Second Circuit broaden the definition of ATDS for TCPA law purposes? https://www.mondaq.com/unitedstates/dodd-frank-consumer-protection-act/921260/second-circuit-decision-deepens-tcpa-law-split?email_access=on -- Bill Horne Telecom Digest Moderator ------------------------------ Message-ID: <20200423211103.GA4611@telecom.csail.mit.edu> Date: Thu, 23 Apr 2020 21:11:03 +0000 From: Moderator <telecomdigestsubmissions@remove-this.telecom-digest.org> Subject: Privacy Considerations When Using Smartphone Location Data To Limit The Spread Of COVID-19 by Sina Kazemi, J. Sébastien Gittens, Stephen D. Burns, Ruth Promislow and Michael Whitt As countries around the world continue their efforts to combat the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), governments are increasingly turning to technology to enforce "social distancing" rules and related measures designed to contain the spread of the virus. For example: * In Italy, Germany and Austria, telecommunications companies are now sharing smartphone location data with governments to monitor whether individuals are complying with self-isolation rules; * In Israel, the government is using location data to trace the movement of individuals who have contracted COVID-19 and identifying people who should be quarantined as a result of close contact; and * In Canada, the Government of Alberta recently indicated that it plans to implement location-tracking measures to enforce quarantine orders. https://www.mondaq.com/canada/reporting-and-compliance/920438/privacy-considerations-when-using-smartphone-location-data-to-limit-the-spread-of-covid-19?email_access=on -- Bill Horne Telecom Digest Moderator ------------------------------ Message-ID: <20200423210719.GA4583@telecom.csail.mit.edu> Date: Thu, 23 Apr 2020 21:07:19 +0000 From: Moderator <telecomdigestsubmissions@remove-this.telecom-digest.org> Subject: Canada: Protecting Your Organization From Wire Fraud By Nathan Schissel, Stathy Markatos and Matthew Barnes On March 18, 2020, the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre ("CACF") released a bulletin warning Canadians that fraudsters are exploiting the COVID-19 global health crisis to commit fraud and cyber-crime. As a result of organizations transitioning their employees to work-from-home or remote access arrangements in response to the crisis, new vulnerabilities are appearing which existing IT infrastructures may not have contemplated. https://www.mondaq.com/canada/security/920790/protecting-your-organization-from-wire-fraud?email_access=on -- Bill Horne Telecom Digest Moderator ------------------------------ ********************************************* End of telecom Digest Sat, 25 Apr 2020
