Wisconsin Assembly Unanimously Passes Privacy Legislation

The Wisconsin State Assembly on Tuesday passed privacy legislation that would let state residents opt out of targeted ad-related data collection. Introduced by Rep. Shannon Zimmerman (R), AB-466 passed by voice vote and awaits Senate consideration. The bill would allow consumers to request and delete information held by social media platforms, apps and websites. It includes a 30-day right to cure. Violators face $7,500 fines per violation.
