We live-blogged a LinkedIn Live Privacy Panel hosted by Prof. Daniel Solove. Solove challenged panelists to "grade" the proposed federal privacy law based on 2 criteria: how well it stacks up to its counterparts and its objective ability to get the job done.
Spoiler Alert – here's how DataGrail thinks it all adds up:
A for effort 💪
It's incredible that today's Congress could come out with a strong bipartisan bill, let alone push one towards a floor vote.
B for stacking up 📚
The bill has many of the fundamental elements critical to modern privacy law. It's also nice that US companies should be able to repurpose much of what they already do for EU/UK and California compliance.
B– for substance 📝
We'd consider the ADPPA a framework for further protections. It does nothing about governmental access to data, would require careful upkeep, and may very well need companion legislation to "turbo-charge" the FTC for effective enforcement.
C/C+ for prospects ⏱
Congress is out for a summer break, and we might not see more movement until 2023. It could then lose critical momentum if power shifts in the House and/or Senate.
