American Privacy Rights Act (APRA) passes House, headed to Senate. Overshadowed by TikTok ban but arguably much more important.

It'll be interesting to see what privacy rights we Americans actually have, once it's goes into law.
It's a good article, breaks down a lot of the major points. But I still worry about the 'devil is in the details', and how it effects regular people day-to-day.

What does a license have to do with the topic?
This cat has a link to the Creative Commons license at the bottom of all of his comments.
How very Facebook will sell your data if you do not copy and paste this message of them.
Their posts show up in Google with ads next to them. That is commercial use, which is prohibited by that license. I wonder if they intend to sue Google.
I believe the CC license requires the right holder to contact the violator and give them 30 days to comply.
So basically Google will remove it if you send them a dmca notice.
It still has to go through the Senate and be signed, there will probably be significant changes before it has a chance to become law.
If I understand the US system correctly, even if this does become law, its still up for interpretation by the supreme court, so it'll still likely favor Republican interests.
For better, or for worse, will be the thing to keep an eye out for.
