There's a major "open niche" for up to date privacy legislation in the US. The privacy laws of the United States have never really been updated for the computer age. It's still safer to write a letter on paper and mail it than to send an e-mail, because the paper letter is protected by law. The generation that's been in power since the 1980s and before has never chosen to protect citizens' privacy the way it was protected when they were growing up, because there's a profit in it for them and their supporters now. Even creating a law like the GDPR on a national level in the US would be an improvement.
