In his Issue 1 Book Review, "The Outer Limits of Digital Privacy Protections: A Review of The Privacy Fallacy," Michael Conklin gives an interesting overview of the evolving challenges in data privacy law. The author of the book, Ignacio Cofone, argues that modern concepts in privacy law should be grounded in tort law rather than in contract law, aiming to hold companies accountable for “privacy harm” itself. Conklin critiques this ambitious approach, arguing that Cofone’s argument fails to justify such a broad legal overhaul. This review highlights a critical discussion on the balance between consumer protection and realistic business incentives in today’s digital age.

"The year 2024 proved to be another robust one for emerging U.S. state privacy law. Seven states joined the ranks, bringing the total up to 19. Unlike previous years, however, 2024 underwent a paradigm shift away from the standard framework influenced by the draft Washington State Privacy Act. For the Future of Privacy Forum's Keir Lamont, CIPP/US, and Husch Blackwell's David Stauss, CIPP/E, CIPP/US, CIPT, FIP, PLS, 2024 marked the end of what Lamont calls the 'Pax Washingtonia' era for state privacy law." https://lnkd.in/euEmRU-8

As state-level privacy laws continue to expand in the absence of federal legislation, businesses must prepare to meet a growing patchwork of requirements or risk penalties and reputational harm. In 2025, eight additional states' comprehensive privacy laws will come into effect, further increasing the complexity of compliance. By the end of next year, approximately 150 million Americans—43% of the U.S. population—will be covered by comprehensive state-level privacy regulations. Most of the activity next year will take place in January, when five states (Iowa, Delaware, Nebraska, New Hampshire, and New Jersey) have privacy laws going into effect, with three more following later in the year.
