U.S. House Energy & Commerce Committee Announce Creation of Privacy Working Group

This press release had just came out of Congress. I’m keeping a watch on any developments of course.

“We strongly believe that a national data privacy standard is necessary to protect Americans’ rights online and maintain our country’s global leadership in digital technologies, including artificial intelligence. That’s why we are creating this working group, to bring members and stakeholders together to explore a framework for legislation that can get across the finish line,” said Chairman Guthrie and Vice Chairman Joyce. “The need for comprehensive data privacy is greater than ever, and we are hopeful that we can start building a strong coalition to address this important issue.”

Though there are companies manage to grow their “consumer database” while complying, at least on the surface, with GDPR, it still create big hurdle to the business, which will hinder “economic growth”. :smiling_face:
