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.
