A significant legislative push is underway in the United States to enhance online privacy and child safety. A key lawmaker has spearheaded the introduction of a bipartisan privacy standard, known as the American Privacy Rights Act, addressing concerns around the sale of personal data and the protection of children online. Experts, including @DerekDoesTech, have endorsed the Act as a positive initial step but suggest that further measures are necessary. Concurrently, nine US states are advancing their own online child safety bills, which have prompted considerable lobbying efforts from tech giants, as reported by @katiemcque / The Guardian. These legislative efforts are part of a broader discourse on the need for comprehensive data privacy laws, with discussions also focusing on the potential negative impacts of censorship-oriented bills like the Kids Online Safety Act, highlighted in discussions by @JoeMullin with @FirewallDragons.
