The American Data Privacy and Protection Act takes a step toward limiting how companies can snoop on computer users. But the bad part is that it preempts state laws.

I suspect that the ADPPA is fundamentally based on limiting the use of data once collected, an approach that it is inadequate, because the only method that will really work is to
limit the collection of the data.

If states can't pass laws that go beyond this, all progress will stop.

So I think this law should not be passed.

A Faustian Bargain: Is Preemption Too High a Price for a Federal Privacy Law? - TeachPrivacy

Prof Daniel Solove discusses whether the bill for the new federal privacy law - the ADPPA - is worth the cost of preempting state privacy law

@rms I’m 1st of all horrified that a site calling itself “teachprivacy”.com is a #Cloudflare site. But worse, I boosted it w/out knowing b/c the URL was hidden. Text-based #Mastodon clients do not show the URLs that are embedded in HTML tags. So my choices are: dump the raw JSON of toots before boosting & look for hidden URLs that are CFd, or just boost & let @mg catch it

@koherecoWatchdog The irony of a CF site calling itself #teachPrivacy is amusingly bolstered by their front-page claim to have “Impeccable Expertise”.
