One out of six ain't good: Five ways the American Data Privacy and Protection Act falls short. #ADPPA

privacy.thenexus.today/one-out-of-six…
As @omertene points out, @ACLU_NorCal opposed California's current privacy bill when it was on the ballot in 2020.

So did @ColorOfChange, @DoloresHuerta, and quite a few immigrant rights groups.

How many of the California bill's weaknesses they talked about does ADPPA address?

I looked at the ballot argument against Prop 24, the rebuttal argument, and @ACLU_Norcal's "Californians Should Vote No on 24"

aclunc.org/blog/californi…
Pay for privacy? Even worse in ADPPA.

No protection for employee data? Also a problem in ADPPA - and getting worse.

Global opt-out? A big ADPPA loophole, as @jason_kint discusses here.

You get the idea. Of the six areas these groups highlighted, only one is fully addressed in ADPPA – and in a couple, ADPPA is arguably worse than California's a law.

privacy.thenexus.today/one-out-of-six…
Of course, there's no question that ADPPA also has areas where it improves on California's privacy law! Including civil rights protections with anti-discrimination language that includes disparate impact (as well as intentional discrimination) is a very big deal!
If Congress decides they really do want to protect people's privacy, they still have time to strengthen ADPPA.

Right now, though, comparing ADPPA to California's privacy law just highlights how much improvement is still needed.

@swodinsky @htsuka @EFF @viaCristiano @ACLU_NorCal @StaussDavid @RepAnnaEshoo @AGOWA @caprivacyorg Although after @caprivacyorg's detailed analysis this morning I clearly need to update the post. Looks like I wasn't the only one who was trying to publish something before @DanielSolove's webinar 🤣

Pass the popcorn! We're only a few minutes away from the webinar #PrivacyTwitter has been waiting for with bated breath! And talk about an all-star cast ...
Some quick background: the American Data Privacy and Protection Act (ADPPA) is the first federal consumer privacy bill to make it through committee this century. It's a huge milestone! But its prospects going forward are unclear.

@AlanInDC's recent article (with @CaitrionaFitz) in @techpolicypress makes the the case for ADPPA.

The Opportunity and the Elephant: Federal Privacy Legislation Update, August 8

As Congress leaves DC for a four-week recess, it's a good time to look at what's up with federal privacy legislation.

privacy.thenexus.today/the-opportunit…
The newsletter includes an update on five privacy bills
- the Fourth Amendment Is Not For Sale Act
- ADPPA, the consumer privacy bill
- the Children and Teens Online Privacy Act (CTOPPA)
- Health and Location Data Privacy Act
- My Body My Data

privacy.thenexus.today/the-opportunit…
The Fourth Amendment Is Not For Sale Act probably has the best chance to pass this session. @justinhendrix has a good summary of the strong bipartisan support at its House Judiciary hearing.

We'll be live-tweeting the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA, aka @CalPrivacy) Board's special meeting today discussing proposed federal privacy legislation, including the ADPPA, starts at 9:00 am Pacific time.

🍿
Let's start with some background.

Here's our update on ADPPA from earlier in the week.

privacy.thenexus.today/what-about-the…
ADPPA's current version overrides California's privacy law, CRPA - and current and future privacy laws in all 50 states.

CPPA, CA's AG and Governor, @EFF, @ACLU_NorCal, @AsmBuffyWicks all oppose this.

Here in Washington, so does our AG and Indivisible groups across the state
