The purpose of this newsletter is very simple:
To provide reliable information on the legal and societal implications of modern technology.
It is written by me - Mahdi Assan - a qualified privacy professional who has worked on and written about technology law and policy issues for over 10 years.
My newsletter cuts through the technical and legal jargon whilst covering topics like data rights, AI governance, platform regulation and state surveillance law:
If you are a ‘normie’, my newsletter will help you understand and navigate our digital world more adeptly
If you are a technologist, my newsletter will help you build technology in more responsible and ethical ways
If you are a legal professional, my newsletter will help you govern technology to actually maximise its benefits whilst minimising its risks
There are two tiers for subscribers:
Paid subscribers get access to weekly newsletters every Friday, the full newsletter archive and the subscriber chat here on Substack

Two final things you should know:
The views expressed on my Substack are all my own.
