Everything related to the #GDPR is discussed here. This is the first and only community specifically for GDPR topics which is decentralized and outside of walled-gardens. #EDPB recommendations and guidance can and should also be discussed here.

For the moment, chatter on the similar California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) could be discussed at least until the volume of messages compels us to split it into a separate community.

But note from the article that Florida’s law is almost useless due to being exteremly narrow in the scope of who must comply. It only applies to tech giants, generally. E.g., generally must “Derive 50 percent of its global gross annual revenue from the sale of advertisements online”. That gets a lot of data abusers off the hook. It is said to be modeled after Virginia.

This Florida rule might be interesting:

Mandatory Disclosures for Search Engines. The FDBR requires search engines to provide easily accessible descriptions of the main parameters used to determine the rankings of search results, "including the prioritization or deprioritization of political partisanship or political ideology in search results." In addition, search engines must disclose the relative importance and influence of the main parameters on the search results.

So I wonder if you VPN tunnel to Florida to perform a search, how many search engines give this info which they perhaps withhold outside FL?

Now we settle in to four years of constant assault on these states’ laws.
