In this week’s Exformation episode, Will and Caden work through the state of data privacy in the U.S. and the implications of state-based laws on business owners across the country. As more and more laws are enacted, in a growing number of states, the rifts between their standards of privacy enforcement will create trouble for businesses acting in good faith to follow the letter of the law. Federal privacy standards, in conjunction with innovation, may be the necessary next step to create a true comprehensive privacy standard in the U.S.
