• Cimpanu: The US Govt Accountability Office recommends the US adopt GDPR-like privacy legislation

    It’s about time.

    Catalin Cimpanu, writing for ZDNet, has some great news:

    An independent report authored by a US government auditing agency has recommended that Congress develop internet data privacy legislation to enhance consumer protections, similar to the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

    The report (PDF) recommends:

    Congress should consider developing comprehensive legislation on Internet privacy that would enhance consumer protections and provide flexibility to address a rapidly evolving Internet environment. Issues that should be considered include what authorities agencies should have in order to oversee Internet privacy, including appropriate rulemaking authority.

    It’s about time. (Although it looks like the report was published on January 15. First I’ve heard of it.)
