Caveat4 Des 2025

Jumping into a time machine.

This week, Ben Yelin discusses the new California Opt Me Out Act that requires web browsers to offer a one-click “opt-out” setting that stops companies from selling or sharing your data. Dave Bittner bring the story about the Supreme Court of the United States weighing whether internet service providers must cut off users who repeatedly pirate content — a ruling that could transform how online piracy is policed and overhaul liability for ISPs. Ben and Dave are joined by Daniel Woods, Principal Security Researcher at Coalition, to discuss the rise of cyber insurance exclusions and the consequences of this trend. While this show covers legal topics, and Ben is a lawyer, the views expressed do not constitute legal advice. For official legal advice on any of the topics we cover, please contact your attorney.
