@angiebaby Interesting. Just did some sleuthing on the subject and back in 2018 Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA), campaigned on consumer data privacy regulations principles he titled an ‘Internet Bill of Rights.' Not sure how this would need to be updated for 2024, but it is a good list.

Apparently these principles derive from a 2012 Obama Administration "Internet Bill Of Rights" initiative >>> https://www.pcworld.com/article/468496/obama_offers_blueprint_for_privacy_rights_on_the_internet.html

What is fascinating is how completely, utterly and entirely these principles have failed and unfettered surveillance capitalism has become the norm.

It's time to try again.
