A pitch for final compromise with proposed American Data Privacy and Protection Act

Brookings Institution Tisch Distinguished Visiting Fellow Cameron Kerry wrote an op-ed suggesting the time is now for U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation Chair Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., and fellow Senate Democrats to "bank their accomplishments and help pass this long-needed individual privacy protection" offered in the proposed American Data Privacy and Protection Act. Kerry outlined why compromise is necessary, noting how "fundamental elements of a privacy bill are too large" and "marginal differences on outstanding issues too small" to not find a path to final passage.
