    I wasn't aware of this bill, still stuck on the "Parents' Decision" one or whatever the name was they came up with to make it sound good (HR8250). It started with California, then Colorado, it's hard to keep up but the federal laws are worse because no states are showing any intentions of non-compliance. It's snowballing and I don't really see any discussion outside of the tech community which is verybad considering these laws are going to affect everyone and few people in general are actually into tech. Our biggest issue is not having an amendment that keeps the government from using companys to violate our rights

    > The new SECURE proposal includes language ... [that does] not allow people to sue companies for violating their privacy rights....

    In case you wanted to know what this was about

    Based on how both US parties treat privacy, I would guarantee that this is going to be mainly for special interests benefit (i.e. business) and not the citizens the politicians are supposed to represent.
