Dean Forbes has seen a lot of privacy. He’s been in the field for 20 years, and he’s worked in almost every industry you might imagine. He’s also a former prosecutor for the U.S. Federal Trade Commission. In this episode of the podcast, you’ll hear Forbes talk about his work, including his seminal case against Geocities, the first information-privacy case brought by the FTC, and his case against Eli Lilly, the FTC’s first information-security case.
