Join Ethical Tech Project Board Member Dr. Maritza Johnson and Board Advisor Jonathan Joseph (AKA ‘JJ’) for “Conversations in Ethical Tech!”
In this episode, JJ and Maritza dig into the recently proposed American Privacy Rights Act (read our initial reactions in this blog post). What will the impact be on business, and why will it mean more businesses adopt data minimization? Does the regulation cover dark patterns? Why are we surprised at the inclusion of a private right of action for consumers in a major privacy bill? JJ and Maritza break down the principles in clear terms that are helpful for privacy professionals and intelligible for the average citizen alike.
