"Maryland Enacts Landmark Privacy Legislation Despite Industry Opposition"
TL;DR Summary
The Maryland legislature passed two significant privacy bills aimed at restricting the collection and use of personal data by tech platforms, despite opposition from industry trade groups representing companies like Amazon, Google, and Meta. One bill focuses on consumer data privacy, while the other targets online safety for young people, prohibiting certain platforms from tracking individuals under 18 and using manipulative techniques to keep them engaged online. The bills await approval from Governor Wes Moore, and if passed, Maryland will join a small number of states with comprehensive privacy legislation and children's online privacy safeguards.
