Overview
The objective of this research project is to inform the development of a future United States law on consumer privacy, drawing upon three recent privacy laws and regulations:
- Europe’s GDPR
- The Federal Communication Commission’s Broadband Privacy Order
- California’s CCPA
We believe that development of future laws or regulations should be grounded in:
- an understanding of what personal information companies collect, how they use it, and with whom they share it,
- an appreciation for the different paths that GDPR, the FCC Broadband Privacy Order and CCPA have taken, and
- a recognition of the strengths and weaknesses of each of these laws and regulations.
