Troutman Pepper Insights: Movement on All Sides Toward Broader Data Privacy and Security Oversight by FTC
|
Earlier this month, we reported on two Senate privacy bills reintroduced from last year’s legislative session. These reintroductions are part of a broader wave of federal privacy bills, none of which are making meaningful progress toward becoming law. While the prospect of a comprehensive federal privacy law in the near term remains unlikely, a recent appropriation proposal and the nomination of longtime privacy advocate Alvaro Bedoya indicate that Democrats are attempting to empower the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) by providing the resources and leadership necessary for more aggressive data privacy and information security enforcement.

Ballard Spahr Webinar:
Enforcement Action Developments and Trends at the “New” CFPB - Sept. 27th
|
Although the Senate has not yet confirmed Rohit Chopra as the new Director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), Acting Director Uejio has not wasted any time in revitalizing enforcement initiatives. During a relatively short period of time, the CFPB enforcement activity seems to have made a 180 degree turn away from the laissez-faire Trump/Kraninger era and now looks a lot like what was experienced during the Obama/Cordray era. During this webcast, we will take a very close look at this metamorphosis, describe the changes that have already taken place, and the products and practices that are currently being scrutinized.
Attend this Ballard Spahr Webinar, Monday, September 27, 2021, 12:00 - 1:00 PM ET
