1 00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:07,560 Speaker 1: Welcome to the Bloomberg Law Podcast. I'm June Grosso. Every 2 00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:10,440 Speaker 1: day we bring you insight and analysis into the most 3 00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:13,440 Speaker 1: important legal news of the day. You can find more 4 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:18,040 Speaker 1: episodes of the Bloomberg Law Podcast on Apple Podcasts, SoundCloud 5 00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:22,319 Speaker 1: and on Bloomberg dot com Slash Podcasts. A loss for 6 00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:25,560 Speaker 1: the Trump administration at the Supreme Court, and the deciding 7 00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:30,560 Speaker 1: vote came from President Trump Supreme Court nominee Justice Neil Gorcich. Course, 8 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:32,479 Speaker 1: it's voted with the liberals on the Court in a 9 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,520 Speaker 1: five four decision throwing out a provision in federal law 10 00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:39,280 Speaker 1: that had been used to deport immigrants convicted of serious crimes. 11 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,840 Speaker 1: Trump criticized the decision on Twitter, saying that it means 12 00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:46,640 Speaker 1: quote that Congress must close loopholes that block the removal 13 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:51,519 Speaker 1: of dangerous criminal aliens, including aggravated felons. My guest is 14 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 1: Kevin Johnson, a professor at u C. Davis School of Law. 15 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,520 Speaker 1: Kevin the Department of Homeland Security also said the ruling 16 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 1: undermines its efforts to remove known criminal aliens. How much 17 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 1: of an impact could the decision have on deportations in 18 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:09,400 Speaker 1: the end, I don't think the decision will have much 19 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 1: of impact on deportations. The immigration laws are fairly detailed 20 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 1: and fairly thorough, and there are many different grounds that 21 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 1: you can try to deport somebody who's a UH convicted 22 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 1: of a crime from the United States. In this instance, 23 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 1: to what the court held was that this language crime 24 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 1: of violence, which is one of many deportation provisions, was 25 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:34,400 Speaker 1: just too vague to withstand constitutional scrutiny. So so I 26 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 1: think that um Demya, who is the immigrated issue in 27 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 1: the case, still may be subject to removal. The Department 28 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 1: Holans Security can still seek to remove him, but just 29 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 1: not on this particular provisions. We should mention that James 30 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 1: Demia came to the US legally from the Philippines when 31 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 1: he was thirteen. He was convicted of residential Berkeley twice 32 00:01:55,800 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 1: in California and has been fighting deportation efforts. Justice Kagan 33 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 1: wrote the opinion for the majority was her reasoning based 34 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 1: on the vagueness of the statute. Yes, basically, um. Justice 35 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,799 Speaker 1: Keagan for the majority relied on a decision from two 36 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 1: thousand and fifteen written by Justice Anton and Scalia. There 37 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 1: was a decision in a case called Johnson versus United States, 38 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,799 Speaker 1: and it found that another provision in a criminal law 39 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 1: was unconstitutionally vague. It wasn't clear enough to give notice 40 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:33,079 Speaker 1: to the defendant of the possible criminal penalties. In this case, 41 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 1: Justice Kagan for the Court held that this language crime 42 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 1: of violence was just too vague to withstand constitutional scrutiny. 43 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 1: It wasn't clear enough to give notice that you might 44 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 1: be subject to removal for for a crime that didn't 45 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 1: involve violence, UM, as this one of these two by 46 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 1: James Demi did. He was found guilty of residential burglary. 47 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 1: Never was was known to have engaged in violence UM, 48 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,080 Speaker 1: but they still tried to deport him based on the 49 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,919 Speaker 1: claim he was guilty of a quote crime of violence. 50 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 1: This was an unusual case because it was argued twice. 51 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 1: Tell us about the history, Well, the case actually originally 52 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:20,920 Speaker 1: UM came to the Supreme Court during the Obama administration, 53 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 1: and the Obama administration sought reviewing the Supreme Court and 54 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 1: last term uh the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in 55 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 1: the case UH and then Justice Gale have passed away 56 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 1: UH and and in the end they they apparently couldn't 57 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 1: reach a conclusion decision, so they ordered reargument in the case. UH. 58 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 1: So that the case was re argued last October, so 59 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 1: it was argued twice in the Supreme Court, and then 60 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 1: we got the decision yesterday. It was a long, long process, 61 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 1: and it's very rare uh for a case to be reargued, um, 62 00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 1: but it gives you an idea just just how divided 63 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 1: the court was in the end. We had a five 64 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 1: to four decisions, so that that really wasn't a surprise, 65 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 1: given that the case has been reargued, Kevin. But was 66 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 1: there an assumption that Justice Corsage would vote with the Conservatives? Well, 67 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 1: I think some people might have assumed that, But the 68 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 1: law is a good deal more complex than liberal conservative. 69 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 1: In this case, Justice course that he wrote a concurring opinion, 70 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 1: and he emphasized the importance of having clear statutes so 71 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:35,600 Speaker 1: that government can't act arbitrarily, and he detailed the long 72 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,480 Speaker 1: history uh going all the way back is is uh 73 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 1: England's Blackstone um of reviewing statutes to make sure that 74 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 1: they're they're clear uh and and allow for predictability if 75 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 1: you're going to be punished under them. Uh. So So 76 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 1: I think that basically Justice gorstch Uh, he saw that 77 00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 1: that this was a way of constraining government from going 78 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 1: too far. You could view that as liberally, you can 79 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,719 Speaker 1: view that as conservative. UM. But I think that he 80 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,359 Speaker 1: was careful to look at the law, and I do 81 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 1: think it was important to him that Um. Really the 82 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 1: basis for the lower court's ruling was a decision by 83 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:20,600 Speaker 1: Justice Scalia, a relatively conservative justice. Uh. And that that 84 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 1: that that decision seemed to dictate the result in this case, 85 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 1: at least in justice course which his eyes. So I 86 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 1: really don't think it's fair to characterize as a liberal conservative. 87 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 1: Some people might have predicted it that way. UM, But 88 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 1: in the end, I think laws of a deal more 89 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 1: complex than that. Justice Kegan quoted from Justice Scalia several 90 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 1: times in her majority opinion. So how did the conservatives 91 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:49,840 Speaker 1: on the court defend this provision in their descent? Well, 92 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:54,840 Speaker 1: Chief Justice Roberts wrote for the dissenters, uh, And there 93 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 1: were four justice in descent, and basically the Chief said, well, 94 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 1: it's not really in constitutionly vague this statute. It's a 95 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,039 Speaker 1: different statute than the one that was an issue in 96 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 1: the Johnson versus United States case, is a little bit 97 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 1: more clear. And here all you need, uh is to 98 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:16,159 Speaker 1: be found guilty of a crime that creates the substantial 99 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:21,720 Speaker 1: risk of violence. Uh And here a residential burglary, uh does, 100 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 1: in Chief Justice Robert's view, create the substantial risk of 101 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 1: violence because if you break into somebody's house and they 102 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 1: may defend themselves and that could escalate. Uh So, to 103 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 1: to to Chief Justice Roberts, it wasn't unconsciously vague, and 104 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: it was different from Johnson. Uh so, So I think 105 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,599 Speaker 1: that was the way that they kind of tried to 106 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 1: um defend um the removal of de Maya. Now, in 107 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 1: the DHS statement, it said that Secretary of Kristen Nielsen 108 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:56,840 Speaker 1: has met with hundreds of Members of Congress over the 109 00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 1: last few months to implore them to take action on 110 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,640 Speaker 1: passing legislation to close public safety loopholes such as these 111 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:07,599 Speaker 1: that encourage illegal immigration and tie the hands of law enforcement. 112 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 1: Does Congress really need to take action here? Well, I 113 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 1: do think Congress needs to take action in terms of 114 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 1: immigration reform um, but I don't see Congress need to 115 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 1: take action to respond to the Demia case. Actually, if 116 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 1: you look at the Department of Home and Security statement, 117 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 1: you see a little bit of confusion there, because, as 118 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 1: you mentioned, James Demaia was a legal immigrant. He was 119 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 1: a lawful immigrant. He came here into the correct procedures 120 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 1: that the statement talks about. Um. You know, people here 121 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 1: undocumented without proper authorization. So I think this is just 122 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 1: another political statement trying to make hay about the sort 123 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 1: of public concern with with immigration currently. I do think 124 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 1: that there's plenty of other grounds under the Immigration Statute 125 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 1: for the Department of Him and Security to seek to 126 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 1: deport Demia. And it doesn't seem necessary to me to 127 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 1: amend the loss to try to try to make um 128 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 1: him automatically to portable. All right, thank you so much 129 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 1: for being with us here. That's Kevin Johnson. He's a 130 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 1: professor at u C. Davis School of Law. Strict new 131 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 1: privacy rules are taking effect in the European Union on May, 132 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 1: and Facebook is starting to comply with them there and 133 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 1: then to get ahead of scrutiny in the U S 134 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 1: and elsewhere, the company said it will provide the same 135 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 1: protections to the rest of its two billion users. Joining 136 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 1: us as Daniel Stoler, Bloomberg Law Senior Legal editor, Daniel 137 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:42,560 Speaker 1: give us some highlights of this General Data Protection regulation 138 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:46,720 Speaker 1: in the EU. Yes, so, the General Data Protection Regulation 139 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,720 Speaker 1: which is mostly known as the gdp r UM. It 140 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 1: is it is a pretty broad update to EU wide 141 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 1: privacy laws and a lot of it is based on 142 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 1: user consent. So UM. Pretty much, if you log into 143 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,840 Speaker 1: Facebook or any other social media platform, if they're going 144 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 1: to be using your data, UM, taking control of your data, 145 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 1: trying to sell it to a third party. UM. There's 146 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 1: there's spots in the in the regulation that UM stops 147 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 1: companies from doing that without express consent from users. So UM. 148 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 1: A lot of the activities that Facebook is getting in 149 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:24,440 Speaker 1: trouble with now and they've said they UM did get consent. UM. 150 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,840 Speaker 1: Some of those issues would have fallen under some of 151 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 1: the provisions of the g d p r UM because 152 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,679 Speaker 1: they didn't get consumer consent. But UM, at the end 153 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 1: of the day, as long as a company is quite 154 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 1: um open about their privacy policies, UM, they've UM tried 155 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: to get consumer consent, give consumers direct control over the data. UM, 156 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,680 Speaker 1: they'd be able to fall out of the four percent 157 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 1: of their global turnover or the up to twenty million 158 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 1: dollar fines. That's been often discussed about what has Facebook 159 00:09:56,080 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 1: said it will do in this country? What specifically, Yeah, 160 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 1: so UM, as you said, before they will be rolling 161 00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 1: out the GPR protections as the opt in consent rules. So, um, 162 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,720 Speaker 1: they're going to pretty much allow consumers to opt in 163 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 1: or out of certain data collection processes. UM. When you're 164 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:17,960 Speaker 1: going to use an app, UM, that will have to 165 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:22,560 Speaker 1: be more clear UM about how they're using your data. Um, 166 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 1: it'll have to be much more clear than some of 167 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:26,680 Speaker 1: the boxes that you or I may have clicked on 168 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,719 Speaker 1: in the past, UM to actually use your data in 169 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 1: future UM instances. And also gives users the right to 170 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,720 Speaker 1: make their data portable. So if I was using Facebook 171 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:38,920 Speaker 1: well but wanted to use a new social media network, 172 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 1: I'd be able to get all that data move it 173 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 1: over new network without Facebook having ownership of that data. 174 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 1: I mean, at the end of the day, it's giving 175 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:51,360 Speaker 1: the users and as they say, data subjects more control 176 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 1: over their data and able to move it around, um 177 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:57,320 Speaker 1: no matter where they are. So the gdp R could 178 00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 1: be used as a model for let inslation in the US. 179 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:07,080 Speaker 1: But how likely are US lawmakers to pass new regulations? Yeah, 180 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 1: so they've they've brought it up in and they even 181 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 1: brought up in Azaca Werks testimony. UM, and they all 182 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 1: have kind of said yes, it is a great model, 183 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 1: but we'll have to see how it works in effect. UM. 184 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:20,559 Speaker 1: They wanted to see if it's going to be too 185 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 1: much UM for U S regulation, and the US doesn't 186 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,680 Speaker 1: really have a long history of strong privacy and data 187 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:31,119 Speaker 1: protection regulations, so jumping from almost nothing to a GPR 188 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 1: style doesn't look too feasible. And then Senator soon after 189 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 1: the UM hearings told us that don't expect any new 190 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 1: data protection legislation soon. We need to see how it works. 191 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 1: And they also want to give UM Facebook and other 192 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,600 Speaker 1: social media companies is not just a Facebook issue, the 193 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 1: ability to self regulate themselves. Now, they do fall under 194 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 1: some self regulatory guidelines for direct marketing UM, but there 195 00:11:55,840 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 1: isn't this strong social media at tech industry like self 196 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,200 Speaker 1: regulatory guidelines like the financial sector has. So they're going 197 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:05,960 Speaker 1: to give them a chance to do that. If that 198 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 1: fails and we see more UM issues like a Facebook 199 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 1: event again, then maybe that there would be more pushes. 200 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 1: But in the short term I don't see, and as 201 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 1: other policy announs have told me, UM, we're likely not 202 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 1: to see UM a global or a US wide UM 203 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,200 Speaker 1: data protection regulation will be left up to the states. Yeah, 204 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 1: and you've written that federal and state enforcement authorities, state 205 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:33,840 Speaker 1: attorneys general, and state legislatures are way ahead of Congress 206 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 1: in this regard. So tell us about a few of 207 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:40,959 Speaker 1: the states that are seemed to be moving faster. Yeah, So, California, 208 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,160 Speaker 1: New York have historically been at the head of the 209 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 1: curve for data protection, privacy, cybersecurity enforcement, and they've already 210 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 1: come together and have announced their UM multi state UM 211 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:57,720 Speaker 1: investigation into the Facebook issues. UM. The FTC, which rarely 212 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 1: are the Federal Trade Commission, which rarely ever tells the 213 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 1: public they're investigating a company, came out and said that 214 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 1: they are investing investigating Facebook UM in this instance, and 215 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 1: they which is something they did for Equifax. But in 216 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 1: these large instances, it's rare for federal enforcement authorities to 217 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,960 Speaker 1: come out and just say that, UM. So it is 218 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:20,320 Speaker 1: important UM that that that also happened, and that it 219 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 1: was important from the FTC side, because Facebook was under 220 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 1: UM order to have based on their prior privacy policy issues. 221 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 1: So going back to that and with prior state California 222 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:38,199 Speaker 1: New York enforcement actions dating back almost not dawn of 223 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 1: the Internet, but let's say late early two thousand's they've 224 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 1: been on the the forefront of online privacy issues and 225 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 1: aren't likely to slow down just about forty five seconds here. 226 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 1: But if you have states like New York and California 227 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 1: passing bills, would then there would be a patchwork of 228 00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 1: legal requirements with that force companies to almost comply with 229 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 1: the most stringent laws to keep compliance cost down. Yeah, 230 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 1: and and that's been the case with UM data breach 231 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 1: notification laws up until this year. UM not every state 232 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 1: had one, but it was pretty much at UH state patchwork. 233 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,560 Speaker 1: And now we have all fifty plus DC and then 234 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 1: some of the U S territories, and the general consensus 235 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 1: from attorneys and other companies is you follow the most 236 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,640 Speaker 1: stringent one. And that way, when let's see had a 237 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 1: data breach in a South Dakota who just passed their law, 238 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 1: if you're already following California and New York's laws, you're 239 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 1: going to be We're gonna we're gonna have to pick 240 00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 1: this up again next time.
