Yes, we're twins.
Yes, we both care deeply about privacy.
Nope, sadly I cannot claim to be @Damokieran

The newly released #ADPPA is one of the most promising contenders for U.S. federal #privacy law. We've highlighted key provisions and areas that could benefit from further clarification, with a focus on how #PrivacyEngineering fits into the picture: fid.es/adppa-privacy-as-code
I was recently asked about the mission patches on my @ethyca hoodie, and thought it would be worth sharing the story of how they came to be, and why they're an important part of the trust-building work we do together. #PrivacyAsCode

#ADPPA has landed (“ad-pah” hat tip @profcarroll).
✅Data minimization
✅Privacy by Design
✅Right of Access/Deletion/Portability
✅Explicitly prohibiting dark patterns
✅Impact Assessments (algo & system)
✅ Do not collect / unified opt-out
A thread on business impact...
✅Impact Assessments (algo & system) #ADDPA
This is huge, historically privacy reviews (or PIAs) are for data use in development. This requires you to maintain PIAs for algorithms, data use and systems.
5/6
✅Do not collect / unified opt-out #ADDPA
Throughout the draft it refers to unified opt-out (something all businesses would have to respect) and something similar for do not collect data - really far reaching changes.
