In this case, I think it’s probably more so that it could be a lot better. Idk all the details and people always try to sneak shit in, but this (admittedly short) article sounds promising.

APRA includes language from California’s landmark privacy law allowing people to sue companies when they are harmed by a data breach. It also provides the Federal Trade Commission, state attorneys general, and private citizens the authority to sue companies when they violate the law.

We’ll see. I’d like to read the latest text, and I can’t seem to find it.

A lot of red and blue states have data privacy laws that are in the same wheal house as the OG’s - GDPR and CCPA.

I work in data privacy, and architecting systems that comply with multiple laws is a giant pain in the ass. Most of us that work in the space have wanted to unify a lot of these guardrails under one law. Currently, I basically get product requirements from multiple different state who are not taking to each other. It’s miserable.

That said, my big concern is that a federal law won’t be easy to make quick iterations to. Congress is slow as fuck. The US probably wouldn’t have any data privacy stuff in place if it weren’t for the states moving the ball forward. The states can move much much faster.
