Axios reports on how China's Personal Information Protection Law signals the U.S. is falling further back on privacy. Ethyca CEO Cillian Kieran said the U.S. is "being left behind from a policy perspective on the global stage" without federal privacy legislation while Center for a New American Security Senior Fellow Martijn Rasser said it "impairs America's global leadership on the issue."
