US House committee to consider national privacy framework updates

Members of the U.S. House Energy and Commerce Committee have participated in six data privacy hearings this year and will be considering updates to the American Data Privacy and Protection Act, which passed the committee last Congress. The proposed regulation would include protections for kids online, Committee Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash., said in a press release. "The best and strongest way to ensure kids are safe online and prevent Big Tech from manipulating them is with a comprehensive national data privacy and security law," it said.
