Had such a good time chatting everything data privacy laws with @achapell.bsky.social!
I asked VT Rep @mepriestley.com what a "good" state privacy law looks like - and here's her response. I wish I'd asked to what degree adtech processing falls under the category of "what consumers directly asked for..." as that implies an EU style consent requirement is coming - tinyurl.com/y6ysb5um
