A Consumer Advocate's View (with India McKinney)

Daniel J. Solove is the John Marshall Harlan Research Professor of Law at the George Washington University Law School. He is also the founder of TeachPrivacy, a privacy and cybersecurity training company.  Professor Solove provided one of the inaugural podcasts of the ADCG series and discussed the current privacy landscape including the CCPA, the EU GDPR, and the EU Court of Justice decision invalidating the US Privacy Shield.  Against this backdrop, Prof. Solove discussed whether a federal privacy law is more likely now than in the past and, if so, what such a law might cover and how close it might get to the GDPR or the CCPA. In this discussion, Prof. Solove also discusses the American Law Institute (ALI) Principles of Data Privacy, which propose comprehensive privacy principles for legislation that are consistent with key foundations in the U.S. approach to privacy, but also better align the U.S. with the EU.  The Principles will likely be influential in future policy discussions, especially with respect to notice and choice.  Finally, the podcast explores with Prof. Solove potential stumbling blocks that are likely to be encountered in discussions regarding a federal privacy law.

Jim Dempsey is the Executive Director, Berkeley Center for Law and Technology and formerly held leadership roles at the Center for Democracy and Technology. Jim Dempsey provided one of the inaugural podcasts of the ADCG series and discussed the lengthy and unsuccessful attempts to enact a federal privacy law. In light of the EU GDPR, California’s passage of the CCPA, and the EU Court of Justice invalidating the US Privacy Shield, he ponders whether the U.S. needs a federal privacy law and what that might look like. The discussion covers likely stumbling blocks to a federal privacy law, such as preemption of state law and a private right of action, similar to that provided in the CCPA. As a professor of cybersecurity issues at UC Berkeley, Jim also explores the potential cybersecurity aspects of privacy legislation and the role cybersecurity requirements have played in breach notification laws.
