Deep dives
The Doctrine of Preemption and Data Privacy Regulation
The discussion delves into the doctrine of preemption and its implications for data privacy regulation. The doctrine allows Congress to enact laws that can override state legislation, which raises concerns among advocates for stronger data protection laws. States like California have set a high standard for protecting consumer data, and any federal law that preempts this could weaken those protections nationally. There is significant concern that big tech companies, akin to past strategies used by the tobacco industry, may exploit this doctrine to sidestep robust state regulations in favor of weaker federal ones.
