NY Privacy Bill Inches Forward

On January 6, 2022, the newest draft of the proposed New York Privacy Act now being jointly worked on by the Senate and Assembly was published in the Senate as S6701A and in the Assembly as A680B.  A review of this latest draft shows that even though a great deal of important changes were newly inserted into this bill , it still requires some tweaking or it will end up having the same loopholes found in other privacy laws implemented around the country. 

Hopefully, the NY legislative has the will to fully take on the data oligarchs – who have been very aggressively working behind the scenes fighting against this bill.
