Jack's Totally Rad Stories
- Ramon Krikken responds to the backlash against his WAF comments. Worth a read, he makes some good points, and doesn't simply cop out and blame the journalist for the tome of the article.
- Twitter Transparency Report An interesting look at requests for user information, and takedown/removal requests received by Twitter.
- Feeble data breach bill is feeble It may sound good, but it isn't. This would preempt data breach laws in 49 US states and territories, and doesn't even set a deadline for disclosure. This is A Very Bad thing disguised as a good thing.
- But there is a move to strengthen SEC reporting laws At least Sen. Rockefeller thinks we need more real disclosure.
