It’s a busy day with more Supreme Court decisions, a presidential debate and a big legislative markup on Capitol Hill. Send news tips to:As House lawmakers get ready to debate on Thursday a landmark proposal to restrict how companies collect and use personal data online, a last-minute decision to scrap civil rights protections from the bipartisan deal has enraged civil society groups and some Democrats.
“Privacy rights are civil rights, and I am very disappointed to see key civil rights protections and algorithmic accountability provisions removed from the recently released draft of the American Privacy Rights Act,” Rep.Clarke said that despite the “setback,” she remained “hopeful” that lawmakers would be able to include the protections “as part of any comprehensive data privacy legislation.”
Clarke plans to offer an amendment to reinstate the civil rights provisions at Thursday’s markup and oppose the legislation if it is not adopted, according to a congressional staffer who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the plans. The House proposal is also facing opposition from government leaders in California, who have criticized that and earlier attempts to override their state’s own watershed data privacy law., a California Democrat who chairs the congressional Hispanic Caucus, said in a statement that she “already had concerns” that the bill would “would undermine the strong data privacy rights that Californians enjoy” as well as the state’s ability to pass new rules.
