The Number Of US State Privacy Laws Is Close To Hitting Double-Digits
Privacy and Data Security Chair Daniel M. Goldberg is quoted in the article "The Number Of US State Privacy Laws Is Close To Hitting Double-Digits," published by AdExchanger. The article discusses the rise in state privacy laws and mentions Frankfurt Kurnit's inaugural Tech Law Summit that took place May 4, 2023. Daniel is quoted saying, "Although there are areas of convergence between these laws, there’s also enough nuance to "keep all of the lawyers in this room employed.""
Daniel notes, "The challenge for businesses and privacy professionals – well, there are many challenges, but one of the big ones – is that these three regimes don’t line up completely. It’s going to be really hard to say that we’re going to treat Utah differently than Connecticut, for example. I don’t think it’s realistic from an operational perspective.”

Law.com quoted Holly Melton was quoted in a Law.com in an article discussing the Federal Trade Commission's consideration of a petition to revive the "Click to Cancel" rule. Ms. Melton analyzed the FTC's potential next steps following the rule's invalidation by the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals. She noted that when Amazon agreed to pay $2.5 billion in September to settle allegations of deceptive Prime subscription practices, the settlement document included language indicating that any future rulemaking on subscription cancellations would supersede the agreement's provisions. Mr. Melton emphasized that this language "reads like a deliberate placeholder—future-proofing the settlement for the reappearance of click to cancel," suggesting the commission anticipates reviving the rule in some form. She advised that businesses should maintain compliance with the rule's underlying principles, stating that "for advertisers and subscription-based businesses, the path forward is clear: provide transparent disclosures, obtain affirmative consent, and make cancellation as effortless as sign-up."
