And that makes a DOZEN! Delaware and Oregon have surprised me.

[Joe Duball @jduballreports]

BREAKING: It’s a wrap in Delaware. The House voted 37-3 on concurrence and final passage of House Bill 154. Some different flavor to this CT-style bill, but more to the point: The state privacy law pile now sits at 12 states high. Wild.

Essential reading for US #privacy pros. Fascinating insights into how the FTC is using (and intends to use) the limited tools available to it.

[Thomas Germain @thomasgermain]

Interested in whether or not the FTC is going to fine your company millions of dollars for privacy violations? Then you need to read this interview with the FTC’s @saalevine https://t.co/30FM4kMQGS

And now for the UK - US Data Bridge. Finally some good news on data transfers! #GDPR

[Caitlin Fennessy @cdfen]

UK Prime Minister Sunak and President Biden announce a commitment "in principle to a new UK-US Data Bridge which would make it easier for around 55,000 UK businesses to transfer data freely to certified US organisations" https://t.co/KHbmdKT27k

[Amanda Witt @AMWitt]

Are you kidding, Twitter? Guess you don’t know me very well! 🤣🧐

[Amanda Witt @AMWitt]

Happy 5th Birthday, #GDPR! It's been a wild ride, but it's definitely changed the #privacy profession as we know it. Hopefully we'll get data transfers figured out at some point.

[Amanda Witt @AMWitt]

Just another boring day in #privacy law.

Iowa is our 6th US state comprehensive #privacy law (although a bit of a yawner). Which state will be next?

[Caitlin Fennessy @cdfen]

And then there were six! SIX COMPREHENSIVE U.S. STATE #PRIVACY LAWS with Iowa Governor Reynolds signing SF262 into law https://t.co/Ad96rWHeqN … and counting until and unless the US Congress adopts a comprehensive federal privacy bill. #Privacypros

[Amanda Witt @AMWitt]

Excellent podcast episode to check out from @PrivacyPros. @JedBracy chats with Zoe Argento at Littler about workplace privacy. Great #privacy advice for those dealing with #HR data. https://t.co/NWKIZRoWTU

[Amanda Witt @AMWitt]

@joejerome @KirkJNahrawork Excellent point. The appearance of doing something to protect privacy without upsetting powerful lobbies.

[Amanda Witt @AMWitt]

And Iowa may soon have its own comprehensive #privacy law, but not sure I understand the point of passing such a weak and meaningless law. This law will be ignored.

[Joe Duball @jduballreports]

Pigs, corn fields and data privacy... That's Iowa. Here's my reporting on the passage of the sixth US state comprehensive privacy law (still pending governor enactment) and how it fits into the #patchwork https://t.co/mNKXSqdJNt
