A regular reminder that Democrats, specifically West Coast Dems, not Republicans, blocked the best chance for a federal privacy law yet, the #ADPPA, which would have started to put the kibosh on this crap.

Watching this hearing on #DataBrokers in US House Commerce Committee and already several mentions of needing to pass the #ADPPA already by members. #uspol #privacy #DataPrivacy

States banning software is dumb. States passing their own unique data privacy laws is also dumb. But Democrats controlled the last Congress, had a bipartisan national privacy bill (the #ADPPA) and the Democrats killed it. #uspol #DataPrivacy

I really wish reporters would call people out for quotes like this. It's just not true. #ADPPA is stronger than #CCPA in most respects, and where CCPA is stronger, it's marginal. CA gets way more authority under ADPPA.

Anyway, the article is here https://news.bloomberglaw.com/in-house-counsel/us-online-privacy-law-remains-elusive-as-tiktok-outrage-mounts

On Feb. 28 Governor Newsom, AG Bonta, and the #ccpa sent a join letter to Congress opposing the preemption language in HR 8152 #ADPPA

There is no doubt that strong federal #privacy legislation is needed, but it should not result in weaker protections for #California.

the only jobs Congress doesn't care about are plaintiffs lawyers, apparently.

Why do the authors anonymize the names of the data brokers? We're talking about bad actors here and they should be named and shamed.

Obviously the USA needs a #GDPR, something like the #ADPPA maybe? In the meantime, #PermissionSlip by Consumer Reports has been working great for me and nuking data brokers that have scrounged up my data. Thanks to the #CCPA you don’t have to be a California resident to get results. But it’s all a bandaid to actual #DataRights for America. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/permission-slip-by-cr/id1591285074

⚠️New Report: Top US Data Brokers nightmarishly sell personal data of people including “highly sensitive mental health data on Americans including data on those with depression, attention disorder, insomnia, anxiety, ADHD, and bipolar disorder as well as data on ethnicity, age, gender, zip code, religion, children in the home, marital status, net worth, credit score, date of birth, and single parent status.” #DataRights #Privacy #ADPPA https://techpolicy.sanford.duke.edu/data-brokers-and-the-sale-of-americans-mental-health-data/

"And it’s time to pass bipartisan legislation to stop Big Tech from collecting personal data on kids and teenagers online, ban targeted advertising to children, and impose stricter limits on the personal data these companies collect on all of us." 👏👏👏 #SOTU #ADPPA

And it's not just Washington. There are dozens of other state privacy bills. In Congress, there's the Fourth Amendment Is Not For Sale Act, #ADPPA, #KOSA, and the upcoming #FISA reauth.

Leveraging the fediverse for legislative activism on privacy can have broad benefits.

Of course, the challenges of doing activism on Mastodon today are very real.

@femme_mal This is the federalist theory: that the statehouses can innovate while Washington gridlocks. Assuming this divided Congress will accomplish ZERO except scandal and controversy then there’s an argument to double-down on statehouses. The question then is what states will absorb which key elements of #ADPPA since it passed out of bipartisan committee last Congress.

That's a warp (for now): federal privacy legislation update, December 23

The 117th Congress has adjourned after passing the $1.7 "omnibus" appropriations bill, so it's now official: at the end of the day nothing passed

Here's a look at the progress Fourth Amendment is Not for Sale Act, #ADPPA, COPPA, #KOSA, and My Body My Data made in 2022 ... and their prospects for 2023.

With only a few days left before Congress wraps up for the year, it’s hard to know what’s up with American Data Privacy and Protection Act (#ADPPA) consumer privacy bill. Things are still pretty much as discussed at the beginning of the week.

https://privacy.thenexus.today/a-coordinated-effort-not-to-mention-the-elephant/

And as well as the queer lens, it’s important to look from the perspective of other groups facing harsh and worsening realities as well.

For example:

Does ADPPA protect the privacy of Twitter employees or contractors whose are engaging in worker activism?

Does #ADPPA prevent Twitter from selling or sharing pregnant people's data with anti-abortion “crisis pregnancy centers,” bounty hunters, or law enforcement in states that have criminalized abortion?

And since the new Chief Twit is an anti-trans bigot, it’s a good time to apply A Prince Albert III's suggestion in "Hiding OUT" and and stress-test ADPPA against "the harsh and worsening realities of queer experiences."

Does #ADPPA prevent Twitter from sharing information about people’s sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression without their consent?
