Op-Ed: The federal American Data Privacy and Protection Act protects everybody's data (via latimesopinion)
. It prohibits discriminatory uses of personal data; requires bias testing for algorithms that determine access to and eligibility for essential economic opportunities; requires companies to collect, use or share only as much data as is necessary to provide services consumers expect; and provides for reasonable enforcement. Importantly, the bill allows individuals to sue companies that violate their rights.
Like any bipartisan bill, compromise is necessary for enactment. The American Data Privacy and Protection Act would block some state laws that address the same issues, while preserving others such as civil rights or consumer protection laws. For example, unlike the federal legislation, the state data laws do not expressly prohibit discriminatory uses of information collected online. They don’t require that algorithms are tested for bias or that companies provide consumers with privacy by design. And they don’t provide the right to sue.
