> House Republicans intend to release a draft national data privacy bill within the next two weeks that would preempt existing state laws, teeing up a fight with Democrats over where to set the ceiling for Americans’ data protection. Why does it have to be a ceiling! Let the federal government set a floor for everyone, and let individual states enhance/customize those protections for their citizens from there. Ah who am I kidding, we know why it's a ceiling instead of a floor.
