When the framework doesn't fit: AI governance for the rest of the world

A piece published via the IAPP examines how dominant AI governance frameworks may be poorly suited to countries outside the Western regulatory sphere, raising questions about whether those models adequately address the diverse legal, cultural, and institutional contexts found elsewhere in the world.

Why this matters: Governance frameworks that don't translate across contexts can leave individuals in non-Western countries with weaker protections against algorithmic harm, surveillance, and data misuse — effectively creating a two-tier system of rights depending on where a person lives.

How big tech got its way on Trump’s AI executive order

The US president’s reversal on calling for a safety review of new AI models is a green light for tech’s unchecked power Only hours before Donald Trump was set to sign a long-awaited executive order on Thursday that would have called for a government safety review of new artificial intelligence models before their release, the president abruptly backed out. Despite growing public backlash to the technology and experts warning new models will pose critical security risks, Trump vowed the US government would not slow down the AI race. During a meeting with reporters on Thursday, Trump cited both…

FTC to Require Cox Media Group, Two Other Firms to Pay Nearly $1 Million to Settle Charges They Deceived Customers About “Active Listening” AI-Powered Marketing Service

The Federal Trade Commission will require Cox Media Group (CMG) and two smaller marketing firms to pay a total of $930,000 to settle allegations they deceived customers by falsely claiming to offer an AI-powered service that could target localized ads based on conversations captured from consumers’ smart devices and that consumers had opted into such targeting. In three separate complaints, the FTC alleged that Georgia-based media and marketing company CMG Media Corporation, which does business as Cox Media Group, and two marketing firms it worked with, New Hampshire-based MindSift LLC and Wi…

When withdrawal cannot be effectively exercised: Rethinking consent validity under the GDPR

A legal analysis published by the IAPP examines situations under GDPR where individuals nominally retain the right to withdraw consent but face practical barriers that render that right ineffective, raising questions about whether such consent should be considered legally valid in the first place.

Why this matters: If consent is treated as valid despite being practically irrevocable, individuals lose meaningful control over their personal data — reducing a core privacy right to a procedural formality rather than a genuine safeguard against ongoing data collection.

FTC Sends Warning Letters to Companies About Compliance with the TAKE IT DOWN Act

The Federal Trade Commission sent warning letters today to a dozen websites advising them of their obligation to comply with the TAKE IT DOWN Act (TIDA), which requires platforms to give people a way to request the removal of intimate photos or videos shared online without their consent, and to remove the intimate photos or videos within 48 hours of a valid request. “Today we’re demonstrating just how serious we are about protecting the public, especially children, from abusive online conduct,” said FTC Chairman Andrew N. Ferguson. “Platforms no longer have any excuses—they must comply with t…

FTC Begins Enforcing the TAKE IT DOWN Act

The FTC has begun enforcing the TAKE IT DOWN Act, which compels online platforms to remove nonconsensual intimate imagery upon victim request. The agency launched a dedicated complaint portal where affected individuals can report platforms that fail to establish or honor removal procedures.

Why this matters: The law extends meaningful data-removal rights to victims of image-based abuse, establishing a federal accountability mechanism for platforms. How broadly the FTC interprets compliance requirements will shape whether platforms build robust, privacy-protective takedown systems or treat them as procedural minimums.

CISA Admin Leaked AWS GovCloud Keys on Github

Until this past weekend, a contractor for the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) maintained a public GitHub repository that exposed credentials to several highly privileged AWS GovCloud accounts and a large number of internal CISA systems. Security experts said the public archive included files detailing how CISA builds, tests and deploys software internally, and that it represents one of the most egregious government data leaks in recent history.
