"[APRA] eliminates the existing patchwork of state comprehensive data privacy laws".
Preemption of state privacy laws makes this look like it's real purpose is to gut much stronger privacy protections that already exist in many states.
I hope either preemption is removed, or this goes down in flames.
- _8j50 2y agoHaving one strong national law would be ideal for everyone involved. Much like gdpr.

- _8j50 2y agoNah. From what legal people have told me, any sort of nationwide law is easier to comply with than random laws in 50 states. Each state focuses on different things, it's not as simple as strict/not strict.
- brevitea 2y agoiff the national law is at least as stringent as the most stringent state law (e.g., CCPA).
- sillystuff 2y agoThe key word is "strong". This bill is the opposite of that. It would, however, eliminate the stronger protections currently enjoyed within many states. Unfortunately, with our bought and payed for auction we call "representative democracy", a strong national privacy bill is not likely to ever happen-- rich folks get richer by abusing our privacy than by respecting it. https://www.minnpost.com/eric-black-ink/2015/05/disturbing-data-rich-and-powerful-get-their-policies-adopted-even-if-opposed/ https://www.minnpost.com/eric-black-ink/2015/05/disturbing-d...
