Wired.com: A Breakthrough Online Privacy Proposal Hits Congress
Subtitled: While some states have made data privacy gains, the US has so far been unable to implement protections at a federal level. A new bipartisan proposal called APRA could break the impasse.
HITB.com: A Breakthrough Online Privacy Proposal Hits Congress
Washington Post: Lawmakers unveil sprawling plan to expand online privacy protections
The Verge: Lawmakers unveil new bipartisan digital privacy bill after years of impasse
The topic? What some are calling the "American Privacy Rights Act," but is on the books as the "American Data Privacy and Protection Act." The first question being, are they the same thing?
The linked sources make repeated references to APRA... evoking its bipartisan nature... and especially mention the original act which has been languishing in their Senatorial and Congressional "HOLD" files for two entire years... While neglecting to note that the ORIGINAL BILL TITLE (thus, the original Act) remains the on-record matter before them...
Second question... Why the "rebranding?"
Can anyone say, "political tomfoolery?"
THIS Bill (HR8152 - "American Data Privacy and Protection Act") has been the object of their responsibility all along... but political gamesmanship and other "considerations" rendered it an "unpalatable political adventure of lesser value" that they refused to entertain ... and now they will claim they have "succeeded" at the game of 'politicking.'
The citizens required the body of their government to protect them, and they dawdled until the time was 'politically' right. The framework was already built, the legwork had already been done... these last two years was just some kind of "vacation" from governance.
Do I sound pissed off? Apologies... I should expect no more from those who follow political clowns into battle.
Actual Bill text: H.R.8152 - American Data Privacy and Protection Act
Data privacy, just as privacy in general, has become the neo-obstacle to low-investment-high-profit. Since nothing higher than 'profit' exists within their "culture" it should be expected that, to our representative cadre, the benefit of the citizen privacy is only a secondary... lesser priority... it's a shame that.
Had they a tiny shred of shame, they would have quietly passed the damn initiative. So what is there 'go to' plan? "Rebrand it and proclaim how great our bipartisanship is..."
Yeah... maybe I'm a little pissed off...
