US Democratic Senator Maria Cantwell, chair og the the Commerce Committee, and Representative Cathy McMorris Rodgers, Republican chair of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, have come to an agreement across party lines regarding preliminary data privacy legislation.
The primary goal of this proposed legislation is to curtail the extent to which technology firms can amass consumer data, while also empowering individuals to manage the sale or deletion of their personal information. Furthermore, the proposed legislation mandates disclosure in cases where data is transferred to foreign entities deemed adversarial.
