Colorado passes bill to protect brain data 

The Colorado General Assembly approved an amendment to the Colorado Privacy Act for the protection of sensitive biometric and "neural data," The New York Times reports. The law aims to protect consumers from devices that collect data from brain activity. State Rep. Cathy Kipp, D-Colo., said while the technology can be beneficial, "there should be some guardrails in place for people who aren't intending to have their thoughts read and their biological data used."
