Meanwhile, Big Tech is feeling the effects of the European law. In early 2019, <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2019\/01\/21\/french-data-protection-watchdog-fines-google-57-million-under-the-gdpr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Google received a fine<\/a> of $57 million from CNIL, a French regulatory agency, for failing to comply with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amp.legal\/blog\/gdpr-strengthens-eu-data-privacy\/\">GDPR<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/fortune.com\/2018\/11\/29\/federal-data-privacy-law\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">California enacted<\/a> the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, which takes effect in 2020. The law allows citizens of California to have their data deleted\u00a0and allows them the ability to \u201copt out\u201d of data sharing. Following California\u2019s example, other states may enact their own data privacy laws.<\/p>\n<h3>Data Privacy\u00a0Framework<\/h3>\n<p>Big Tech firms\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/fortune.com\/2019\/02\/21\/technology-companies-federal-data-privacy-law\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">prefer a comprehensive federal\u00a0law<\/a> as opposed to a patchwork of data privacy laws. Therefore, firms are taking the initiative to be a part of the discussion regarding a federal data privacy law. Google and the Internet Association support\u00a0several principles for a national framework, which includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Access<\/strong>: Consumers need a reasonable way to correct and delete their data.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Accountability<\/strong>: The law should set baselines but allow for flexibility in achieving compliance.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Broad application<\/strong>: A data privacy law should impact all types of organizations.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Controls<\/strong>: Consumers need control over how their data is collected, used, and shared.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Data security<\/strong>: Companies must protect consumer data and notify consumers of a security breach.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Global regulations<\/strong>: Privacy regulations need to be consistent across borders.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Portability<\/strong>: Consumers should be able to transfer their information to another service provider.<\/li>\n<li><strong>State laws<\/strong>: The law needs to create a national standard that preempts the patchwork of state data breach and privacy laws.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Transparency<\/strong>: Consumers should know when a company uses their data.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The GDPR is a global standard for data privacy, so the U.S. will need to follow its direction. U.S. firms are already complying with the GDPR for European customers, so Big Tech understands the value of establishing\u00a0a national data privacy standard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lawmakers\u00a0are considering the passage of a national data privacy law that will resemble Europe\u2019s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
