Then Jens-Henrik Jeppesen joins from the other side of the pond to talk about "what the heck is going on in Europe?" – the Digital Single Market strategy, the RTBF ("right to be forgotten"), online hosting liability, and more.

Host Brian Wesolowski first chats with Alex Bradshaw about the changes technology has had on classrooms, how #edtech impacts students' privacy concerns, what kind of federal rules and standards are needed moving forward, and more.

Then Greg Norcie steps up to give us some best practices for solidifying your password security (and explains why we've often talked about creating them the wrong way). He also talks about hash[browns?], security questions, and in all takes a technical (but simple) perspective to describe the inner-workings of the basic privacy systems we interact with daily.

Host Brian Wesolowski first chats with Greg Nojeim on why CISA (the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act) is more surveillance than security, why all info-sharing isn't bad (put that hammer away!), how attribution makes cyber countermeasures dangerous, and more.

Then Erik Stallman joins to break down for us some copyright issues – particularly, how the latest example of "white hat" security research [driverless car crash, anyone?] designed to help us better understand and secure ourselves is technically breaking the law.

Host Brian Wesolowski first chats with Matthew Shears on what is IANA, shedding light on the "multistakeholder community" that it's transitioning into, and explaining why the U.S. government is transitioning out of it. Plenty of moving parts, but we swear – Matthew knows his stuff.

Then Gautam Hans joins to give us the scoop on his first Supreme Court brief, Spokeo vs. Robins, and how it impacts everyday Americans' rights via the Fair Credit Reporting Act. He explains how this case could, by limiting private claims, lead to an increase in inaccurate data, + more. (Oh, and he bakes cookies – isn't Gautam awesome?)
