Comprehensive data security and privacy legislation has eluded the United States partly due to debate around several roadblocks like preemption and enforcement. While reaching consensus on these areas is critical to move forward, they are far from the whole privacy picture. This event explored the less commonly discussed—yet critical—aspects of privacy legislation, along with highlighting more nuanced approaches to the traditional roadblocks, moving beyond an all-or-nothing view.
