On July 9, 2024, the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC)’s Enforcement Bureau announced a landmark settlement with CaptionCall and its parent company, Sorenson Communications, resolving an investigation into the company’s unlawful retention of call content and submission of inaccurate information to the Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS) Fund Administrator. Settlement Breakdown: - Financial Settlement: Nearly $35 million in total, including: - $4 million investment in privacy and data protection enhancements. - $5 million civil penalty. - $12 million reimbursement to the TRS Fund. - Relinquishment of over $13.6 million in IP Captioned Telephone Service (IP CTS) reimbursement claims. - Enhanced Privacy Measures: CaptionCall has agreed to a comprehensive compliance program with key requirements: - Conducting a data inventory. - Implementing a data retention schedule. - Investing in privacy-enhancing technologies (PETs) and educational resources for consumers. Commitment to Consumer Privacy: FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel emphasized the importance of ensuring privacy for consumers with disabilities, stating, "TRS providers have to take additional precautions given their unique access to the content of their customers’ calls, and we will continue our vigilance on this front." The FCC’s Privacy and Data Protection Task Force, led by Enforcement Bureau Chief Loyaan A. Egal, continues to focus on identifying and addressing privacy and data protection concerns, ensuring inclusive protection for all consumers. - For more details, read the full Consent Decree: https://lnkd.in/gj4Uv4hR Follow Global Regulatory Insights for more updates on the latest regulatory developments and their impacts on the tech industry! #ConsumerPrivacy #FCC #CaptionCall #DataProtection #Compliance #Regulation #Telecommunications #TechNews #GRI

I was just reading an article (https://lnkd.in/gha_DfP7 ) about a plan to monitor payment apps. The plan proposes to monitor payment apps to enhance financial oversight and security. It involves increased regulatory scrutiny and data collection to detect potential illicit activities. The goal is to obtain a balance between privacy concerns and the need for financial regulation in the digital era. Curious on your thoughts on this plan, do you see it as a good thing or bad?

Joe Hockey did it first, nearly 20 years ago (18 actually). See pic in comments.. Every 20 years or so, the #DigitalID genie captures politicians for a digital announceable and happy pic holding cards. But the lessons from #AccessCard have not been investigated. These are not technology lessons. Voluntary? Well, just wait until the first government makes the use of TEx a condition of licensing - so still technically “voluntary” for the citizen until the citizen seeks to access that venue, business or service.. And the vested interest rent seekers line up for the “clipping the ticket” rivers of digital gold. Same same for #AccessCard. As far as the reference to “non-existent” data flows. Well that was also the spin during #AccessCard: there are always data flows and flaws. It’s concerning that such spin goes unchallenged. What is not mentioned in this spin piece, is the recent Ombudsman Own Motion investigation into Services Australia response to #MyGov fraud, which found serious security flaws in the MyGov platform ecosystem arrangements. Whilst I am very happy living, working and creating in the Apple connected ecosystem, the difference is that government is not Apple, or Amazon, or Facebook, or a pizza shop. And Australia is not a tiny European country like Denmark or Estonia. #Context and #Culture matter. #Trust matters. #Delivery matters. Everything else is just hype. Until the next card carrying photo op.

Are there people in Sweden or the EU working towards changing the laws to require critical services (banks, school, health care, and the like) to support privacy-oriented non-Apple/non-Google servers for smart phone use?I live in Sweden. I do not have a smart phone because I do not agree to the terms of service for the Apple Store or for Google Play, and have the luxury of not needing a smart phone for my life.It is getting harder because Swish (person-to-person payments) and Mobil BankID are so widely used, while BankID on a computer is not. My gym recently switched from an RFID card to phone QR code to enter, and I get the idea the chain doesn't want to continue to support the handful of people like me without a phone.A couple of days ago I learned about /e/OS and de-Googled phones. I like the privacy orientation, the EU location of company, and the fact that they haven't been fined 2 billion Euro for abusing monopoly power or found to violate EU privacy laws. I am willing to pay the 800 EUR for a Murena Fairphone 5 ... if I know it will work.However, BankID says they do not support /e/, and even if it works now, they say all risk is on me if does not work in the future. That is not a risk I want to take. I figure it's easier stay with what I know works than to backtrack in the future.This requires a political solution. I figure others are working on this. Are there any suggestions for who they are?Additionally, what laws are in place to require support for those without a smart phone? My barber dropped debit card support in favor of Swish, but still accepts cash. But places are increasingly going cash-free, which may mean Swish-only in the future.

While the agency’s rules are not final, regulators have also explored ways to invoke their existing authorities so that they can inspect select tech companies on a case-by-case basis, according to two people familiar with the matter, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the confidential rule-writing process."

If you’re a Telstra or Optus customer, this will be important for you to note. If you have not yet switched from the 3G network, Telstra and Optus have delayed their shutdown for their consumers. Telstra has released that they are shutting down on August 31st and Optus will follow suit from September onwards. This does not just affect your phones but all 3G devices. Please note, even though you may have more time, we highly encourage you to act now as you won’t be the only one needing assistance to make any switches. If this is you, and you’re unsure of what exactly needs to be done. Feel free to book a call and organise a business-wide audit.  One of our highly knowledgeable Single Source team members will be able to look through your devices and let you know which needs to be upgraded or switched over.  Don't walk, run, it's always a better feeling to be prepared rather than scrambling to that hard deadline. https://lnkd.in/grUAhyxi #businessowner #informationtechnology #australia #customersuccess #softwaredeveloper #digitalasset #logisticssolutions #businesslogistics #datamanagementsystem #businessreporting
