According to Michael Twidale, professor in the School of Information Sciences at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, bad usability can be an irritation for everyone but especially awful for the underprivileged. In Everyone Everywhere: A Distributed and Embedded Paradigm for Usability, which was recently published in the
Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology (JASIST), Twidale and coauthors David M. Nichols (University of Waikato, New Zealand) and Christopher P. Lueg (Bern University of Applied Sciences, Switzerland) present a new paradigm to address the persistence of difficulties that people have in accessing and using information.
Twidale points to the COVID vaccination rollout as one recent example of bad usability. In many places, people have to book their vaccine appointments online, which can be difficult for the especially vulnerable elderly population.

Assessing Damages in Data Privacy and Data Breach Class Actions Involving Health Data in the Wake of COVID-19 Monday, March 15, 2021
The COVID-19 pandemic, which has generated a surge in telehealth and introduced the concept of contact tracing into our daily lives, is likely to expose businesses and governments to an increased risk of data privacy and data breach class actions related to health and other personal data. This article discusses potential economic approaches and challenges to valuing, in class action settings, alleged unconsented use or misappropriation of health and other private data generated during this health crisis.
Class action litigation related to data privacy and data breaches in the healthcare industry is expected to trend upward in the COVID-19 era

Students care about their data privacy, and this concern is increasing.
A 2016 EDUCAUSE Center for Analysis and Research (ECAR) survey found that one-third of undergraduate students were concerned that technology advances may increasingly invade [their] privacy. A Gallup poll in 2015 found that 44 percent of Millennials believe their personal information is kept private some of the time and that 26 percent believe their personal information is kept private little or none of the time. In 2016, the Gallup poll showed that 44 percent of Millennials trusted companies to keep their personal information private all or most of the time but that 33 percent trusted companies to keep their personal information private little or none of the time, a 7 percentage point increase from 2015. These surveys reflect students growing awareness and distrust of entities possessing their data. In 2018, Gallup found that 39 percent of respondents ages 18 to 49 were very concerned about
