When the White House nominated Alvaro Bedoya, a Georgetown law professor known for his expertise on privacy, for a role on the Federal Trade Commission, privacy advocates interpreted the move as the latest evidence that the agency is looking to expand its work investigating and bringing cases against companies that exploit and mismanage consumer data. Bedoya, a former Senate Judiciary counsel who is known for his work addressing racial and gender bias on facial recognition technology and other surveillance of communities of color, comes with the promise of what privacy advocates envision for the future of the agency. “Just as Lina Khan really sent a strong signal about taking the FTC seriously as an antitrust regulator, I think that the nomination of Alvaro Bedoya should send us the same signal to take the agency seriously as a privacy regulator,” said Christine Bannan, senior policy counsel at the Open Technology Institute, one […]

Businesses throughout the U.S. will now be required to notify New Yorkers as quickly as possible when their information is compromised in a security incident, under a bill that Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed Thursday. The consumer-friendly data protection law updates New York’s current rules to cover biometric data, and forces firms to alert consumers when their email address, combined with the corresponding passwords or security questions and answers, are compromised. The state legislature quietly passed the Stop Hacks and Improve Electronic Data Security Act, or SHIELD Act, in June. The law, which takes effect March 2020, requires companies to notify individuals “in the most expedient time possible and without unreasonable delay,” a time period that generally means 30 days, state Sen. Kevin Thomas, who re-introduced the SHIELD Act after it failed to pass in 2017, previously told CyberScoop.
