Senator Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.) introduced the Privacy Bill of Rights Act. The bill is designed to protect the individual and collective privacy rights of American consumers. Individuals will also have a private right of action empowering them to defend their own privacy rights. Markey also introduced updates to the Children s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), adding changes that would prohibit internet companies from collecting personal and location information from anyone under 13 without parental consent and from anyone 13- to 15-years old without the user’s consent. To become law, the bill will have to be passed by both the Senate and House in identical form.
