Op-ed: Revisions to NJ Data Broker Law Can Turn a Negative to a Positive
A New Jersey business group is making the case that proposed revisions to the state's data broker law could improve it, framing changes as an opportunity rather than a setback for the business community.
Why this matters: Data broker laws exist because most people have no idea who is buying and selling their personal information. New Jersey passed one, and now industry is pushing to reshape it. That is normal, but the direction matters. Revisions backed by business groups tend to narrow who counts as a broker, shrink what counts as covered data, or soften enforcement. If that happens here, the law ends up protecting fewer people than the original version promised.
