Privacy bill triggers lobbying surge by data brokers - Privacy bill triggers lobbying surge by data brokers
Maybe I'm too romantic, but I'd like to see an american GDPR (not saying that the eu name or the bill itself is better), and then an Asian and so on till we have one global GDPR protecting all consumer data.
It helps no one besides politicians who now have create more work for them selves, and is an abomination just like the cookie policy.
It's not clear that ADPPA will move forward. The current version preempts California's CCPA/CPRA legislation, and (big surprise) California doesn't like that. But, that's far from the only issue with it. Here's an update from a couple of weeks ago which discusses some of the problems, as well as potential next steps. https://thenexusofprivacy.net/adppa-new-compromise/ And, here's EFF's position: " Americans Deserve M…
Preemption would be an enormous mistake. Federal legislation moves at a glacial pace. In a field like privacy, you may only get to pass one substantial bill every 10 or 15 years. Technology moves too quickly for lawmakers at the Federal level to keep up. States can move much faster.

I haven't read the bill or read about the bill but I'd wager a coffee there's also some form of entertainment/copyright industry hostility in there. I'm really trying not to be cynical here, but I started so I might as well finish. Step #2 is if it does happen to pass, the parts of the bill that are actually consumer protections will be unenfor…
You forgot the words “Inflation“, “Equality“, “Infrastructure”, “Dream”, “People”, “Save”, “Health”, Budget” or “Climate”.

I mean, at our company, GDPR requests have to cost at least $50 a pop. It goes to a human team to review and process with a dedicated legal representative.
Not my problem. You're the one collecting the data. You pay for the costs. Can't afford to collect my data? Go out of business then.
