Sure would be nice if the USA had a national #DataRights act and muscular enforcement arm to get a handle on all the unbridled mass data abuse of cross-purposing and combining datasets

i fear that we basically need a constitutional amendment to reconcile the first and fourteenth with explicit and enforceable data subject rights

meanwhile the statehouses are devising their own patchwork (eg, today in Hartford) of subtle differences and definitions which is bad for data subjects, controllers, and processors alike but proves there is real voter appetite for a clamp-down and rights enablement claw-back

so if statehouse ratification of a seemingly fantastical constitutional amendment protecting data rights from an inevitable originalist scotus smackdown then it’s probably a good sign that the general support for the notion of data privacy is originating at the local level
