State Privacy Rights Are More Important Than Ever
A state court publication is making the case that privacy rights protected at the state level carry significant weight, particularly given the current federal landscape.
Why this matters: Federal privacy law is still a patchwork. State laws are often the only real protection people have over their own data. When those rights erode or go unenforced, there is no automatic backup. State courts and state legislatures are doing work that Congress has not done. That makes them worth paying attention to, even if the stories feel local and slow.
