I see they are also annoyed at cookie banners: > SEC. 210. UNIFIED OPT-OUT MECHANISMS. For the rights established under sections 204(b) and (c), and section 206(c)(3)(D) not later than 18 months after the date of enactment of this Act, the Commission shall establish one or more acceptable privacy protective, centralized mechanisms, including global privacy signals such as browser or device privacy settings, for indiv…

halle-fuckin-lujah please don't make it some bullshit centralized service where you have to have a specific cookie from a random website to actually use it. please just expand DNT.

In the sick world we live in, ad companies would love a more granular DNT response from your browser so they can use it to fingerprint you.

I can't remember the last time I saw a non-iroinic reference to 1984.

Have you read the book? It's nothing at all like how we live today, and (as far as I can tell) this would do nothing towards making our lives more like how the lives of Winston and Julia were in the novel.

If it has anything about protecting children in it or it has to do with limiting encryption you are correct.

Well...

>SEC. 406. COPPA.

>(a) In General.—Nothing in this Act shall be construed to relieve or change any obligations that a covered entity or another person may have under the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (15 U.S.C. 6501 et seq.).

>(b) Updated Regulations.—Not later than 180 days after the enactment of this Act, the Commission shall amend its rules issued pursuant to the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (15 U.S.C. 6501 et seq.) to make reference to the additional requirements placed on covered entities under this Act, in addition to those already enacted under the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 that may already apply to some of such covered entities.

Not exactly new rules, but they're making sure this doesn't overwrite anything they already enacted "for the children".

The problem is, "reasonable" is subjective. Things like this need to be tethered to something. "The fee may not exceed 50% of the hourly federal minimum wage."

That’s just not true. “Reasonable” is a binding term used in contracts all of the time. The court system is extremely experienced in determining what is and is not reasonable.

"The court system is extremely experienced in determining what is and is not reasonable."

Almost always to the dismay of one party, and sometimes to the dismay of the general public.

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 More Than The Current American Data Privacy Protection Act" https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/07/americans-deserve-more...

Not always. According to lemon law lawyer Mr. Lehto (who runs a Youtube channel Lehto's Law), RVs are not covered under most state lemon laws, and thus defers to the federal Magnuson Moss Warranty Act which just says repairs must be under a reasonable time frame, and the RV companies say something like 10 repairs, 6 months each, is the industry standard and thus reasonable, and judges don't have anything else to base that on, so they agree.

Now if we could just get a bill that actually limited the governments ability to collect data on its citizens. I'm not really worried about targeted ads, I'm worried about targeted assassinations.

You talk to people and ask them why they are worried about companies collecting data, and a certain percentage will tell you they don't like that the government could get it with a court order. That'd be a HUGE improvement over the current situation where they don't have to, they just collect it directly.
