Any sign of the latest draft they're referring to? I didn't see a link in the post. The May 23 Innovation-Data-Commerce markup?
I'd be interested to see what kind of non-discrimination provision was removed. A rule against discriminating against people for exercising their privacy rights, like we see in the California Consumer Privacy Act, GDPR, &c.? Or a more general, civil rights-style prohibition, perhaps incorporating a list of protected classes?
They mention the new draft could be weaker than state laws it would preempt. I take it that's most likely a reference to California law. But it comes after discussion of a loophole they see for on-device data, not the part of about non-discrimination.
It makes sense for a civil rights organization to want strong nondiscrimination language in a federal privacy bill. But I'm not sure we've seen those bundled in one law and passed before. We have with AI-specific legislation. If the APRA is turning into more of an Omnibus Big Tech Bad Behavior bill, AI regs included, that might make political sense.
