Coalition alleges companies are violating Maryland's new data privacy law
A coalition has filed allegations that companies are violating Maryland's recently enacted data privacy law. The complaints represent an early enforcement test of the state's new consumer privacy protections.
Why this matters: Maryland passed a data privacy law, and now groups are already saying companies are ignoring it. That is the gap that matters. Laws without enforcement are just press releases. If these allegations hold up, it tells you something real about whether companies take state privacy rules seriously or treat them as background noise. Maryland residents should know whether the protections they were promised are actually working. That answer depends on what happens next.
