18 Jan Florida Senator Introduces Data Privacy Bill
Florida senator Marco Rubio recently introduced a bill which seeks to apply the general outlines of the 1974 Privacy Act to the data practices of companies particularly in the tech industry.
Rubio says that the American Data Dissemination Act, should compel tech giants to be more accountable and transparent while ensuring that small businesses and start-ups are still able to innovate and compete in the digital marketplace.
Rubio continued that a structure similar to the 1974 act would give consumers protections against unwarranted intrusions from sophisticated actors in the private industry.
