In the last couple months, Vermont, Alabama, and Oklahoma have passed data privacy laws. Massachusetts is negotiating its own version. Meanwhile, congressional lawmakers have introduced national privacy bills that would preempt these state laws.
In light of all this legislation, we’re revisiting an interview from February about how the <a href="https://www.sciencefriday.com/segments/data-privacy-laws/?utm_source=wnyc&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=scifri" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">United States’ data ecosystem</a> makes it possible for any number of government agencies and businesses to buy our private data, from facial scans to health records to location tracking.

Guest:
Laura Moy is an associate professor of law at Georgetown Law, based in Washington, D.C.
