I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

"content": "\u003cp>Google’s refusal to honor U.S. citizens’ requests to remove content they’d rather have hidden is “unfair and deceptive” since the company professes to be concerned about privacy, an advocacy organization charged in a formal complaint filed July 7 with the Federal Trade Commission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Consumer Watchdog, the so-called right to be forgotten is already a “basic privacy tool” afforded to citizens of the European Union. Google created a system for reviewing requests to remove content from search results after a 2014 European Court of Justice ruling determined that individuals have a right to ask for content associated with their names to be removed if it’s “inadequate, irrelevant … or excessive.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>John Simpson, privacy project director at Consumer Watchdog, argued in \u003ca href=\"http://www.consumerwatchdog.org/resources/ltrftcrtbf070715.pdf\">the FTC complaint\u003c/a> that Google’s refusal to implement a similar program in the U.S. should be considered a violation of the Federal Trade Commission Act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Internet giant aggressively and repeatedly holds itself out to users as being deeply committed to privacy,” Simpson wrote. “Without a doubt requesting the removal of a search engine link from one’s name to irrelevant data under the right to be forgotten (or right to relevancy) is an important privacy option. Describing yourself as championing users’ privacy and not offering a key privacy tool — indeed one offered all across Europe — is deceptive behavior.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Consumer Watchdog offered a series of examples for why such a policy ought to be followed in the U.S. One cited a case from 2006 in which a young woman from Southern California was decapitated in an auto collision after driving her father’s sports car. Authorities didn’t allow the family to see her disfigured body after the accident, but California Highway Patrol officers leaked graphic photos of the accident scene to friends for pure shock value. The pictures began circulating on the Internet, prompting members of her family to eliminate all online activity from their lives. In 2012, they received about $2.37 million \u003ca href=\"http://articles.latimes.com/2012/jan/31/local/la-me-chp-photos-20120131\">in a settlement\u003c/a> with CHP.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a recent interview with KQED Public Radio, Jill Bronfman, director of the Privacy and Technology Project at the Institute for Innovation Law at UC Hastings, explained how Google’s system for processing individuals’ requests has worked in practice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=”https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/213729398″]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They have kind of become a pseudo-government agency in the EU, where Google is actually functioning as an arbiter of public policy, deciding what should be online and what shouldn’t be online,” Bronfman said. “EU citizens are submitting requests and Google is deciding what to keep up and what to keep down. They’ve looked at over a million URLs so far.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Consumer Watchdog, Google denied removal requests for nearly 59 percent of the links.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Expanding the system of review to the U.S. “would involve a significant expenditure of time and resources,” Bronfman noted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The right to be forgotten has been polarizing in Europe. The BBC, for instance, \u003ca href=\"http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2015-06/25/bbc-right-to-be-forgotten\">published a list of stories that had been purged\u003c/a> from Google, demonstrating how the policy could impact news content. The debate would likely be just as intense if the practice were implemented in the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics have also derided the right to be forgotten as a tool that would make it easier for the wealthy and well-connected to hide their activities from public view or that invites censorship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Google itself has made it clear it disagrees with the policy. While the search giant didn’t respond to a request for comment by press time, \u003ca href=\"http://googlepublicpolicy.blogspot.com/2014/07/searching-for-right-balance.html\">a blog post published on its website in 2014\u003c/a> spells out Google’s take on the matter:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“The European Court found that people have the right to ask for information to be removed from search results that include their names if it is ‘inadequate, irrelevant or no longer relevant, or excessive.’ In deciding what to remove, search engines must also have regard to the public interest. These are, of course, very vague and subjective tests. The court also decided that search engines don’t qualify for a ‘journalistic exception.’ This means that The Guardian could have an article on its website about an individual that’s perfectly legal, but we might not legally be able to show links to it in our results when you search for that person’s name. It’s a bit like saying the book can stay in the library, it just cannot be included in the library’s card catalogue. It’s for these reasons that we disagree with the ruling. That said, we obviously respect the court’s authority and are doing our very best to comply.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Responding to a request for comment, the Northern California chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union directed KQED to a detailed white paper prepared by Chris Conley, the organization’s technology and civil liberties policy attorney. Here’s how Conley sorts out the right to be forgotten — or as he called it, the right to be deleted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“The right to privacy, a right many consider fundamental to our society, may be rendered impotent if our private actions can be reconstructed from countless permanent records. We propose that the best way to address this concern is to create a right to delete that gives individuals the ability to control their own history and thus escape it. This right comes from the idea that records are not just about a person; in our modern world, they are functionally part of our digital persona, and thus should be under our control whether we create them or not. … We have already seen some progress as companies have launched products and altered terms of service to give users the right and ability to delete their own records. Although establishing this right remains challenging, we believe it can be done.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n",

Google created a system for reviewing requests to remove content from search results after a 2014 European Court of Justice ruling determined that individuals have a right to ask for content associated with their names to be removed if it’s “inadequate, irrelevant … or excessive.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>John Simpson, privacy project director at Consumer Watchdog, argued in \u003ca href=\"http://www.consumerwatchdog.org/resources/ltrftcrtbf070715.pdf\">the FTC complaint\u003c/a> that Google’s refusal to implement a similar program in the U.S. should be considered a violation of the Federal Trade Commission Act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Internet giant aggressively and repeatedly holds itself out to users as being deeply committed to privacy,” Simpson wrote. “Without a doubt requesting the removal of a search engine link from one’s name to irrelevant data under the right to be forgotten (or right to relevancy) is an important privacy option. Describing yourself as championing users’ privacy and not offering a key privacy tool — indeed one offered all across Europe — is deceptive behavior.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Consumer Watchdog offered a series of examples for why such a policy ought to be followed in the U.S. One cited a case from 2006 in which a young woman from Southern California was decapitated in an auto collision after driving her father’s sports car. Authorities didn’t allow the family to see her disfigured body after the accident, but California Highway Patrol officers leaked graphic photos of the accident scene to friends for pure shock value. The pictures began circulating on the Internet, prompting members of her family to eliminate all online activity from their lives. In 2012, they received about $2.37 million \u003ca href=\"http://articles.latimes.com/2012/jan/31/local/la-me-chp-photos-20120131\">in a settlement\u003c/a> with CHP.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

They’ve looked at over a million URLs so far.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Consumer Watchdog, Google denied removal requests for nearly 59 percent of the links.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Expanding the system of review to the U.S. “would involve a significant expenditure of time and resources,” Bronfman noted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The right to be forgotten has been polarizing in Europe. The BBC, for instance, \u003ca href=\"http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2015-06/25/bbc-right-to-be-forgotten\">published a list of stories that had been purged\u003c/a> from Google, demonstrating how the policy could impact news content. The debate would likely be just as intense if the practice were implemented in the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics have also derided the right to be forgotten as a tool that would make it easier for the wealthy and well-connected to hide their activities from public view or that invites censorship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Google itself has made it clear it disagrees with the policy. While the search giant didn’t respond to a request for comment by press time, \u003ca href=\"http://googlepublicpolicy.blogspot.com/2014/07/searching-for-right-balance.html\">a blog post published on its website in 2014\u003c/a> spells out Google’s take on the matter:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“The European Court found that people have the right to ask for information to be removed from search results that include their names if it is ‘inadequate, irrelevant or no longer relevant, or excessive.’ In deciding what to remove, search engines must also have regard to the public interest. These are, of course, very vague and subjective tests. The court also decided that search engines don’t qualify for a ‘journalistic exception.’ This means that The Guardian could have an article on its website about an individual that’s perfectly legal, but we might not legally be able to show links to it in our results when you search for that person’s name. It’s a bit like saying the book can stay in the library, it just cannot be included in the library’s card catalogue. It’s for these reasons that we disagree with the ruling. That said, we obviously respect the court’s authority and are doing our very best to comply.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Responding to a request for comment, the Northern California chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union directed KQED to a detailed white paper prepared by Chris Conley, the organization’s technology and civil liberties policy attorney. Here’s how Conley sorts out the right to be forgotten — or as he called it, the right to be deleted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“The right to privacy, a right many consider fundamental to our society, may be rendered impotent if our private actions can be reconstructed from countless permanent records. We propose that the best way to address this concern is to create a right to delete that gives individuals the ability to control their own history and thus escape it. This right comes from the idea that records are not just about a person; in our modern world, they are functionally part of our digital persona, and thus should be under our control whether we create them or not. … We have already seen some progress as companies have launched products and altered terms of service to give users the right and ability to delete their own records. Although establishing this right remains challenging, we believe it can be done.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Across the bridge and down the highway, Piedmont, too, is\u003ca href=\"http://www.ci.piedmont.ca.us/html/govern/minutes/2013/2013-03-18.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> looking into\u003c/a> installing cameras.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That would be no small matter. While there are only two roads in and out of Tiburon, Piedmont has 24. The city got a quote of about $1 million to purchase license readers at all those locations, and that doesn’t include the cost of installation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In its March 18 meeting, the Piedmont City Council considered a proposal that the license-plate readers be installed at only the most well traveled of the entrances and exits to the city. It ended by asking that the Public Safety Committee collect more information, and it put the matter on the council \u003ca href=\"http://www.ci.piedmont.ca.us/citycouncil/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">agenda\u003c/a> for May 6.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tiburon Police Chief Michael Cronin said the license plate-readers have brought benefits to his town. “Our crime crate has gone down since we started talking about it,” he said. “Whether we can attribute all that to the cameras, I can’t say, but I think a lot of it was due to that. The biggest impact has been as a deterrent.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those discussions started in 2008. More serious crimes (the ones that fall into Part I, the most serious category of FBI statistics) have dropped by 30 percent since then, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not that Tiburon sees a lot of violence. “We were getting people breaking into cars and stealing iPads and cell phones, and getting into garages,” Cronin said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After Tiburon installed the cameras, theft from vehicles dropped from 50 in 2007 to 14 in 2012. The number of stolen cars went from 11 to two in that time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most famous crime documented by the cameras was the theft of a bright yellow Lamborghini, \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/crime/article/Teen-s-tale-of-car-theft-may-be-tip-of-iceberg-3536490.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reportedly\u003c/a> worth $200,000, from celebrity chef Guy Fieri on March 8, 2011.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The plate readers recorded the car entering Tiburon and then leaving it, though it was months before police arrested a suspect in the case—17-year-old \u003ca href=\"http://www.modernluxury.com/san-francisco/story/mad-max\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Max Wade\u003c/a>, who grew up in town.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The plate-reading system cost $113,141 to purchase and $9,889 to operate, Cronin said, and he considers it well worth the money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Cronin acknowledged that Piedmont is in a different situation. “Piedmont is dealing with more serious crimes, such as home invasions,” he said. That’s where someone breaks into your house even though you are at home, peacefully watching “Mad Men” or taking a shower.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>License-plate readers are not uncommon. Mostly they are installed in patrol cars. Putting them on poles along the street is a fairly recent innovation, though Cronin said Tiburon was not the first to hit on the idea.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposal has attracted some opposition, particularly from civil liberty and privacy advocates who fear what could be done with all the data the cameras gather.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Linda Lye, a staff attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union, is particularly concerned that the Piedmont proposal includes keeping the data for 12 months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“How, where and with whom I spend my time is my business,” she told KQED’s Stephanie Martin. “Comprehensive location tracking, which is made possible by advances in technology such as these license-plate readers, reveal all kinds of intimate details about a person’s life. Visits to the Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, the gay bar, the union hall, the abortion clinic and so on.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With all the surveillance equipment available to law enforcement agents, they can already assemble a pretty detailed picture of your movements, Lye said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tiburon decided to hang onto its data for only 30 days, precisely because of these concerns, Cronin said. He doesn’t think the information is very useful after that time. “I wanted to investigate crimes reported to the police,” he said. “Not a lot of crimes are reported after 30 days.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

It ended by asking that the Public Safety Committee collect more information, and it put the matter on the council \u003ca href=\"http://www.ci.piedmont.ca.us/citycouncil/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">agenda\u003c/a> for May 6.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tiburon Police Chief Michael Cronin said the license plate-readers have brought benefits to his town. “Our crime crate has gone down since we started talking about it,” he said. “Whether we can attribute all that to the cameras, I can’t say, but I think a lot of it was due to that. The biggest impact has been as a deterrent.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those discussions started in 2008. More serious crimes (the ones that fall into Part I, the most serious category of FBI statistics) have dropped by 30 percent since then, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not that Tiburon sees a lot of violence. “We were getting people breaking into cars and stealing iPads and cell phones, and getting into garages,” Cronin said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After Tiburon installed the cameras, theft from vehicles dropped from 50 in 2007 to 14 in 2012. The number of stolen cars went from 11 to two in that time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most famous crime documented by the cameras was the theft of a bright yellow Lamborghini, \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/crime/article/Teen-s-tale-of-car-theft-may-be-tip-of-iceberg-3536490.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reportedly\u003c/a> worth $200,000, from celebrity chef Guy Fieri on March 8, 2011.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The plate readers recorded the car entering Tiburon and then leaving it, though it was months before police arrested a suspect in the case—17-year-old \u003ca href=\"http://www.modernluxury.com/san-francisco/story/mad-max\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Max Wade\u003c/a>, who grew up in town.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The plate-reading system cost $113,141 to purchase and $9,889 to operate, Cronin said, and he considers it well worth the money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Cronin acknowledged that Piedmont is in a different situation. “Piedmont is dealing with more serious crimes, such as home invasions,” he said. That’s where someone breaks into your house even though you are at home, peacefully watching “Mad Men” or taking a shower.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>License-plate readers are not uncommon. Mostly they are installed in patrol cars. Putting them on poles along the street is a fairly recent innovation, though Cronin said Tiburon was not the first to hit on the idea.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposal has attracted some opposition, particularly from civil liberty and privacy advocates who fear what could be done with all the data the cameras gather.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Linda Lye, a staff attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union, is particularly concerned that the Piedmont proposal includes keeping the data for 12 months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“How, where and with whom I spend my time is my business,” she told KQED’s Stephanie Martin. “Comprehensive location tracking, which is made possible by advances in technology such as these license-plate readers, reveal all kinds of intimate details about a person’s life. Visits to the Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, the gay bar, the union hall, the abortion clinic and so on.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With all the surveillance equipment available to law enforcement agents, they can already assemble a pretty detailed picture of your movements, Lye said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tiburon decided to hang onto its data for only 30 days, precisely because of these concerns, Cronin said. He doesn’t think the information is very useful after that time. “I wanted to investigate crimes reported to the police,” he said. “Not a lot of crimes are reported after 30 days.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
