APPROPRIATE CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEES
removes armed services; commerce, science and transportation/energy and commerce committees
determines that the risk of making 1such information available is not in the in-2terest of public safety or welfare;
Could this be influenced by outside interests?
utilized in such 1form in the normal course of business
can really be deleted I guess--will this be investigated as part of the audit?
does not 12include a one-time or occasional sale of as-13sets of an entity as part of a transfer of 14control of those assets that is not part of 15the ordinary conduct of the entity
so if business is changing hands and it's only a one time exchange, as opposed to repeatedly selling Americans' data

other examples to compare to? Can see how they've worked?
subject to the penalties and entitled to the 4privileges and immunities provided in the Fed-5eral Trade Commission Act
enforcement
promotion of public awareness
okay cool how?
Commission
is Congress increasing Commission's budget at all? (No, they're having the data brokers pay a fee)
shall pay to the Commission,
Okay, so if there's no way to incentivize data brokers joining, how are they going to enforce this?
independent third party
nice but who? not FTC?
the number of times the data 1broker collected personal information
is there an acceptable number of times? considering this bill is outlawing it?
Any personal information 10necessary to comply with a warrant, 11subpoena, court order, rule, or other 12applicable law
an existing or potential future warrant etc?
Any personal information that 4is processed or maintained solely as 5part of human subjects research con-6ducted in compliance with any legal 7requirements for the protection of 8human subjects.
they're allowed to keep information that is legal as human subject research, just follow all laws protecting these humans
submit hashed 16queries
This means brokers access this information, cross-reference it with their records, and delete whoever they find. Will this cause problems with address/name changes, same names, etc?
has been stored in the centralized sys-4tem for 2 years
So 2 years later data is fair game again, unless individuals submit the request again. So not one time.
hash all submitted information 10and allow the Commission to maintain 11independent hashed registries
what does hash mean
standardized form shall in-4clude the individual’s email, phone number, 5physical address, and any other persistent 6identifier
notable?
standardized form
better be user friendly. Also will data brokers display this form somewhere on their website or make instructions pertaining to it readily available?
allows an individual, through a 5single submission, to request that every 6data broker who is registered under sub-7section (a) and who maintains any per-8sistent identifiers (as described in subpara-9graph (B)(iii)) delete any personal infor-10mation related to such individual held by 11such data broker or affiliated legal entity 12of the data broker.
Main point: I like it. I don't know if there are any journalists who rely on this kind of data for newsgathering? Also how does Commission ensure that the data does get deleted? Can data really be entirely deleted, forever? Does this address back up storage?
individuals may contact such data 13brokers at their own risk
include info on how they may contact data brokers? I wouldn't know
cannot confirm 9the accuracy of the responses
how can we confirm the accuracy of these responses lol HOW is this enforced
publicly available
where? And how will they publicize it to Americans?
Any other information determined 16appropriate by the Commission.
Could this bill be weaponized by an administration? Don't think so
third party
so FTC would be third party? Will there be some data brokers that are not affected by this bill? E.g. are not all data brokers required to allow an opt out of data collection?
and for other purposes.
will this enable the same data to be accessible to the government, or is it just an avenue through which Americans can submit requests to delete and opt out?
egister
Is there anywhere data brokers are already registered? If not, how will the commission keep track of who has and hasn't registered? How will this be enforced?
