- Abstract: Ample research has demonstrated that compliance with data protection
principles remains limited on the web and mobile. For example, almost none of
the apps on the Google Play Store fulfil the minimum requirements regarding
consent under EU and UK law, while most of them share tracking data with
companies like Google/Alphabet and Facebook/Meta and would likely need to seek
consent from their users. Indeed, recent privacy efforts and enforcement by
Apple have had - in some regards - a more pronounced effect on apps' data
practices than the EU's ambitious General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Given the current mismatch between the law on the books and data practices in
reality, iterative changes to current legal practice will not be enough to
meaningfully tame egregious data practices. Hence, this technical report
proposes a range of priorities for academia, regulators and the interested
public in order to move beyond the status quo.

LegiLM is a novel legal language model specifically tailored for consulting on data or information compliance.
It has been fine-tuned to automatically assess whether particular actions or events breach data security and privacy regulations.
LegiLM excels in detecting data regulation breaches, offering sound legal justifications, and recommending necessary compliance modifications.

We offer an approach to filtering grounded in law, which has directly addressed the tradeoffs in filtering material.
First, we gather and make available the Pile of Law, a 256GB dataset of open-source English-language legal and administrative data.
Second, we distill the legal norms that governments have developed to constrain the inclusion of toxic or private content into actionable lessons.
Third, we show how the Pile of Law offers researchers the opportunity to learn such filtering rules directly from the data.

Third-party tracking allows companies to collect users' behavioural data and track their activity across digital devices.
This can put deep insights into users' private lives into the hands of strangers, and often happens without users' awareness or explicit consent.
This paper investigates whether and to what extent consent is implemented in mobile apps.
