Tech Groups Oppose Current Draft Privacy Discussion Bill

Bipartisan draft discussions on privacy are encouraging, but the bill being circulated needs more work, tech industry groups wrote Congress Monday (see 2206100061). The Computer & Communications Industry Association, Software & Information Industry Association and TechNet can’t support the bill in its “current form,” the groups wrote. They raised issues with the bill’s inclusion of a private right of action and duty of loyalty, as well as an “untailored, burdensome requirement to submit assessments of virtually all computer-based activities involving algorithms.”
