The argument suggests that if data security were the sole concern, Congress would not have exempted other major Chinese-controlled platforms. This discrepancy forms the basis of an equal protection argument against the targeted divestiture of TikTok.

The hosts argue that companies will simply join industry organizations that define these practices, creating a legal shield against lawsuits. They suggest the regulation may be more about gouging American tech firms than protecting user privacy.

The suit alleges that Facebook breached EU privacy laws by sharing data with the NSA and other commercial interests. Facebook attempts to have the case dismissed on procedural grounds, but the hosts view it as a landmark test for European data protection rights.

This legislation could significantly impact American tech companies that use algorithms for social media feeds, job applications, and targeted advertising.

The administration supports legislation to provide private companies with civil and criminal liability protection when they share user data with the government. This is criticized as a move that strips citizens of legal recourse against corporations that compromise their privacy.

The proposal focuses on how companies retain and share consumer data, though critics argue it functions more as a cyber-sharing agreement than a protection against financial scams. A personal anecdote regarding poor service at Capital One serves as a counterpoint to the focus on data privacy.

Meanwhile, a report in *The Local* highlights a booming market for "cyber insurance" in the wake of the Snowden revelations.

Dvorak discusses his plans to consult with engineers at Falcon Electric regarding high-end UPS devices to protect computers from power surges. The hosts debate whether a personal mesh network could maintain connectivity if the broader internet infrastructure were disabled by an EMP. They express skepticism regarding the actual threat posed by North Korea, labeling it a "bogeyman" tactic.
