It’s only been three weeks, but we’ve already talked plenty about the first big GDPR fine of €50 million (or about $56.8 million) fine to Google for failing to comply with GDPR. Sure, you’re thinking “that’s Google, I can see how they got fined, but nothing to worry about here”. Right? Well, you may want to think again.

In Fair v. Commc’ns Unlimited Inc., Missouri District Judge Rodney W. Sippel denied the motion to quash discovery filed by non-party Charter Communications (Charter), finding that the plaintiff had demonstrated that she had been unable to obtain the information from the defendants, that her request was not overbroad or unduly burdensome, that the information requested would not disclose personally identifiable information (PII) and that any sensitive or confidential information could be protected with redactions or a protective order.

During last year’s EDRM Spring Workshop, I discussed on this blog that EDRM had released the preliminary draft of its Technology Assisted Review (TAR) Guidelines for public comment. They gave a mid-July deadline for comments and I even challenged the people who didn’t understand TAR very well to review it and provide feedback – after all, those are the people who would hopefully stand to benefit the most from these guidelines. Now, over half a year later, EDRM has released the final version of its TAR Guidelines.

I always try to find an easy topic to talk about on the Friday after Legaltech ends because I’m usually exhausted after running around all week (this week even more so, though the results were worth it as CloudNine had a fantastic Legaltech this year!), even with the near record cold that hit New York on the last day. So, when the topic falls in your lap because of something you did a few days earlier, it’s like receiving a gift and that’s how I feel about finding out that my podcast with Digital Detectives is up and available!
