I actually wrote a House Bill for Montana in 2013 that would have been a pretty comprehensive privacy law for the state. My friend Dan tried his best to get it passed, but it was a bit too much new code for legislators to stomach. Thankfully Dan has broken the original legislation down into smaller parts and has really succeeded in improving privacy in Montana.

- lm_nop 9y agoWell done! With GDPR privacy law in the EU and new ISP data collection legal status, I expect we will have much more work to be done in this area, across the country. Hopefully lawmakers will decide to protect consumers. Thanks for getting the ball rolling in Montana!
- client4 9y agoThanks! I'm not hopeful for federal level privacy protections on par with the EU or even other states (Massachusetts being a leader in the US), so I think a state based strategy is the best bet. Especially in Montana as we have a constitutional right to privacy which makes it much easier to pass pro-privacy laws.
