In a significant move toward enhancing online privacy and safety, a series of legislative actions across the United States have been introduced, aiming to address the growing concerns around data privacy and the use of artificial intelligence (AI). Representative Walberg announced the introduction of COPPA 2.0, a bipartisan, bicameral bill designed to protect children and teens from unprecedented privacy and safety risks, including online manipulation and surveillance by Big Tech. Concurrently, Pennsylvania state representatives have passed a bill requiring companies to notify consumers when AI is used to generate content. This legislative effort is part of a broader national conversation, as evidenced by the unveiling of a discussion draft of a bipartisan data privacy bill by the House and Senate Commerce Committee chairs. The draft aims to establish broad-based national data privacy standards for the first time in the United States, addressing a long-standing gap in comprehensive data privacy legislation. Additionally, states like New Hampshire, Maryland, and Nebraska have enacted their own data privacy laws, reflecting a patchwork approach to consumer data protection in the absence of federal legislation.
