[Democratic Reps. Anna Eshoo and Zoe Lofgren] new bill proposes the creation of the Digital Privacy Agency (DPA) that would have the power to enforce privacy rights for users... "I believe that the FTC lacks the staff, the expertise and the culture to take [this on]." Eshoo said. "This is a monumental task of protecting privacy."... The bill... grants users the right to "access, correct, delete and transfer data about them," and choose for how long a company can keep the data... Users can request "human review of impactful automated decisions." [The bill] requires opt-in consent for users' data to be used for machine learning or artificial intelligence algorithms. It allows individuals to sue for declaratory or injunctive relief, and when not acting collectively, for damages... the bill requires [companies to] disclose why they need to collect and process data, minimize employee and contractor access to user data, not use private communications like email to target ads or "other invasive purposes," obtain consent to disclose or sell personal information, [and] abstain from [misleading] users into providing consent... The bill explicitly provides protections for journalists to "use or disclose personal information for investigative journalism no differently than they do today."... Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has been among the tech leaders urging congressional leaders to move forward on federal regulation.
