Nicole Moreham: The Protection of
Privacy in English Private Law

The Protection of Privacy in English Private Law

Independently published

Two unaccountable points now decide what an Australian citizen gets to see and hear. The feed decides what spreads, tuned for engagement rather than accuracy. The AI guardrail decides what gets said, tuned for caution rather than transparency. Neither is required to explain itself, and no one has yet proposed a workable, Australian, precedent-grounded way to make either one auditable.Digital Cognitive Infrastructure: Who Decided What We Get to See does both. It is a trade book making the public case, and, inside the same volume, a fully drafted Commonwealth Bill ready for a Member of Parliament's office to take up: working legislative text, not a general position paper.The book's core distinction, held firm throughout: safety-critical guardrails, the kind that block weapons synthesis or child exploitation material, exist because the information itself is the harm, and this book leaves those alone entirely. Its target is narrower - the epistemic-caution guardrail, the invisible values judgement made when a system hesitates over a contested but legitimate claim, with no disclosure that a judgement was made at all.The Bill's mechanisms come from Australia's own regulatory toolkit: vehicle safety standards, the phase-out of leaded petrol, spectrum licensing, telecommunications structural separation, the Auditor-General's independence model, and the plain-packaging framework that reshaped an industry's disclosure obligations. Each major mechanism, the audit authority, enforcement, the funding levy, user control over algorithmic treatment, is drafted at five distinct tiers, from the least disruptive option that still works to the most structurally ambitious, each with full clause-level text. An office can take the tier that fits its political room to move and use it directly.The book is equally direct about its own construction. Eight AI systems were independently commissioned to produce comparative policy proposals for the same problem, with no visibility into one another's work; their strongest and weakest ideas are assessed on the record, not cherry-picked for effect. A central case study, working from a documented incident, makes a narrow and disciplined argument: a legitimate source was, by default, omitted from an AI-assisted research output. The point isn't that the caution was wrong. It's that the omission was only caught because someone was running a genuinely rigorous verification process, and anyone without that process would never have known it happened. That single, checkable case is the whole justification for the Bill's audit architecture - not proof of malice, proof that invisible caution is indistinguishable from invisible bias unless the system is built to be checked.Every claim is held to what the authors call the High Court Test: would it survive being read aloud by a judge actively looking for its weakest point? Where the evidence supports a claim, the book says so and cites it. Where it only suggests one, the book says that instead. No chapter allows a system's motive or a contested finding to be asserted as settled fact.A continuing fictional narrator, Keeley Halloran, carries a single locked personal chapter at the book's opening, establishing the human stakes before the argument proper begins; everything after is a direct, professionally registered discussion paper, cited throughout, with no further narrative device between the reader and the case being made. Readers arriving cold will find a complete, self-contained policy document that assumes nothing and asserts nothing it hasn't shown.Six appendices close the volume: a Statement of Compatibility, an Explanatory Memorandum, full methodology and bibliography and a Second Reading Speech, giving an MP's office every document it would need to move the Bill forward without a redraft.

Curaçao Gambling License

Curaçao is no longer the old shortcut many operators still imagine.For years, Curaçao was viewed by many online gambling entrepreneurs as a fast, flexible, and relatively accessible route into the iGaming market. But the licensing environment has changed. Under the new Curaçao Gaming Authority and LOK framework, applicants face a more formal, transparent, and compliance-driven regime.Curaçao Gambling License: The New Reality is a serious guide for entrepreneurs, operators, investors, consultants, and professionals who need to understand what the new Curaçao licensing environment actually requires before relying on outdated advice or entering the process unprepared.This book explains why many applicants misunderstand the transition from the old sublicense culture to a more direct and accountable regulatory model. It shows how licensing now depends not only on documents, but on ownership transparency, corporate substance, source of funds, operational control, AML readiness, player protection, payment flows, supplier arrangements, reporting obligations, and long-term compliance discipline.Inside this book, you will learn: Why Curaçao should no longer be treated as a simple offshore shortcutWhat a Curaçao online gaming license actually covers - and what it does notWhy legal entity structure, UBO disclosure, key persons, and local management matterHow the two-phase CGA application process changes applicant preparationWhy applications may be refused because of weak ownership, unclear funds, liquidity concerns, poor compliance, or incomplete readinessHow provisional licensing differs from definitive licensingWhy AML, KYC, responsible gambling, player accounts, reporting, complaints, ADR, and data access are not formalitiesHow payment processing, supplier agreements, certified games, domains, public disclosures, and operational controls affect the licensing fileWhy outdated Curaçao advice can lead to weak applications, wasted fees, banking problems, and commercial delayHow serious applicants should build a licensing strategy that can survive regulatory, banking, payment provider, and investor scrutinyThis book does not promise approval, shortcuts, or guaranteed outcomes. It is not written as a promotional brochure for Curaçao. It is written as a practical and strategic explanation of the new licensing reality.Curaçao may still be a valuable jurisdiction for serious online gambling operators. But it is no longer a jurisdiction where applicants can rely on vague structures, passive directors, incomplete supplier control, copied compliance policies, or old sublicense-era assumptions.The central message is simple: Curaçao can still work - but only if the business is structured, documented, governed, and operated like a regulated gambling business before the application is submitted.This book is for serious applicants who want to avoid outdated advice, weak applications, and costly licensing mistakes.

From the popular creator of @LawByMike, a hilarious guide to all your legal questions—from the obscure to the downright absurd.&nbsp; Could you be arrested if you let your kids have a few sips of wine with dinner? Is it illegal to lie on your dating profile? Can a python be an emotional support animal?

Lawyer Mike Mandell is here to change that, by answering your most burning legal questions ... and some you didn’t even know you had! Oops... That's Illegal! is a book of legal insight from a practicing lawyer who’s seen it all. Using the same light-heartedness and humor that made his social account @LawByMike so popular, Mandell covers a wide range of topics from police encounters (Is it illegal to do a U-turn at a DUI checkpoint?) to party fouls (What’s the penalty for streaking?) to legal disputes (Can I sue my own lawyer for doing a bad job?). Funny, informative, and sprinkled with little-known legal facts throughout, Oops... That's Illegal! is sure to help even the most upstanding citizens when they come face-to-face with their next legal dilemma.

Gambling Law in Ireland

Routledge Research in Media Law

This book considers whether news gatherers should be required to disclose the identity of anonymous sources used in their stories by courts or other bodies. The vast majority of media self-regulatory codes impose an obligation not to disclose the identity of such sources, but many legal systems have traditionally been reluctant to offer such a degree of protection to anonymous sources, or any at all. However, the latter part of the twentieth century and early twenty-first century has seen an explosion in the number of such 'source protection' laws, and much judicial and legislative activity to change existing laws.Drawing on media and communications theories the book identifies a number of different theoretical justifications for source protection laws and analyzes whether the application of existing laws are consistent with any of these theories. Using legal materials and codes from a wide variety of countries it considers whether there are any noticeable trends in how different countries address this issue. It explores the influence of the United States and the European Court of Human Rights' jurisprudence on the matter beyond their jurisdictions, and asks the question whether this is an area of law captured by 'globalisation,' or whether countries with different constitutional and media traditions have developed different approaches to 'source protection.'Finally having assess the arguments in support of source protection laws Damian Carney puts forward a model clause and model shield law for the protection of anonymous sources which is theoretically and practically robust.

This book considers whether news gatherers should be required to disclose the identity of anonymous sources used in their stories by courts or other bodies.

A Comparative, Theoretical and Critical Analysis

Journalists, Anonymous Sources and the Law

Should we give up privacy to fight disease, for national security, or to help train AI systems? Recent crises, from the Covid-19 pandemic to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, from Gaza and Afghanistan to the seemingly unstoppable rise of AI, have put privacy under severe pressure. Privacy in Crisis argues the opposite: these crises show that privacy needs to be protected even more. Privacy in Crisis looks at vital current issues: at political manipulation and misinformation, government surveillance, racial tension, hybrid and cyberwarfare (and real wars, such as those in Ukraine and Gaza), the overwhelming power of the internet giants, and surveillance society, and how interference with privacy is key in all of them. It shows how specific crises bring many of these issues together in perfect storms of privacy invasion. The different threats to our privacy revealed by these crises tell parallel stories and are inextricably linked. There are common themes and common technologies - the threats involve the same data, the same profiling systems and the same approaches. In many cases the systems are run or owned by the same small set of companies, controlled by the same few people. Addressing them is difficult but possible - this essential book outlines how.

Law and Policy in Times of Extremism, Pandemics, and War

Privacy in Crisis

Schriften zum Recht der Digitalisierung

The edited volume examines how legal, technical, economic, and ethical norms governing the use of artificial intelligence emerge, interact, and stabilize. It is based on the premise that AI regulation cannot be understood as a self-contained field of technology law, but rather constitutes a complex ordering task shaped by the interplay of horizontal European regulation, sector-specific regimes, research ethics, and processes of standardization. The focus lies on the implementation of the European AI Act and its relationship to data protection law, financial market law, and the EU framework for corporate data. Theoretically, the contributions draw on regulatory and governance research, theories of normativity, and debates on technology-induced norm formation ("code is law"). Methodologically, the volume combines doctrinal and comparative legal analysis with perspectives from technology studies, economics, and the social sciences. It examines the AI Act, data protection and financial market law, as well as de facto processes of norm formation by market actors, standardization bodies, and research institutions. It reconstructs the forms, functions, and addressees of the AI normative order and analyzes the interplay of legal rules, technical standards, economic incentives, and ethical guidelines. Part I analyzes the risk-based regulation of the digital space, Part II sector-specific regimes in the financial market and the relationship between horizontal regulation and supervision, and Part III research ethics and standardization. The volume conceptualizes the AI normative order as a multi-layered framework and provides a foundation for future regulation in Europe.

Unboring Newsies History for Kids

Routledge Research in Human Rights Law

This book provides a comprehensive examination of digital regulation's most pressing challenge: building effective legal frameworks to counter unlawful speech across digital platforms. Moving beyond traditional focus on service provider responsibility, it adopts a holistic approach examining perspectives of providers, content creators, and end-users. It analyses content moderation limits, regulatory risks, and the legitimacy of delegating illegal content blocking to private entities.The chapters explore European liability standards evolution for illegal digital speech, explaining EU digital service provider liability foundations and associated controversies. It examines user liability arising from social network functionalities like "likes" and "shares" rather than direct content publication. While primarily focused on EU law, it provides detailed insights into selected Member State regulations and comparisons with leading economic partners including the US and UK, enabling readers to compare different regulatory models.This book is intended for professionals across digital service regulation including experts, legislators, law enforcement agencies, and the academic community. It will be particularly valuable for lawyers, engineers, sociologists, and researchers specialising in media law and human rights law seeking to understand contemporary challenges in digital content regulation and cross-jurisdictional approaches to managing harmful online content.

Clearly Unlawful Content in EU Digital Law

Beyond Hate Speech

Trends, Challenges, and Prospects

Press Freedom, Access to Information, and Media Ethics in Africa

Communication platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, X, and YouTube have become central arenas of public opinion formation. Their operators moderate millions of items of user-generated content every day on the basis of privately drafted terms of service, removing not only unlawful but also lawful content protected by fundamental rights. Jonas Hiller examines under which conditions and to what extent such moderation is permissible.
 

 The legal framework is provided by the Digital Services Act (DSA), in force since 2024, whose moderation-related due diligence obligations are first systematically analyzed. Building on this, the author develops standards for reviewing both the exercise and the substantive content of privately autonomous moderation decisions, as well as their effects under private law. He also examines the scope for national regulation that remains under the fully harmonizing DSA.
 

 The study demonstrates that the DSA leads to a constitutionalization of the platform user agreement without entirely eliminating private autonomy. In their moderation practices, platform operators become bound by fundamental rights and rule-of-law principles. While they retain broad discretion in designing their terms of service, the application and enforcement of those terms in individual cases are subject to stricter scrutiny. Key criteria for this graduated intensity of review are market power, user dependency, and a platform's function as a public forum.
 

 The study also critically assesses the DSA's fully harmonizing effect, arguing that the regulation of the digital public sphere touches upon the cultural sovereignty and democratic identity of the Member States. Rather than preserving national regulatory discretion, the fully harmonizing nature of EU law results in a Europeanization of freedom of expression in the digital sphere.
