Senate Democrats introduce bill to protect your online data
A group of 15 Democratic senators have unveiled a bill that aims to protect your online data.

A federal privacy draft bill could arrive in early 2019
A federal privacy bill draft may arrive early next year, which could pave the way for a US version of the European Union's strict General Data Protection Regulation rules. Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal is working with Republican Jerry Moran (who is chairman of the consumer protection, product safety, insurance and data security subcommittee) on a bipartisan privacy bill and expressed hope the draft will be ready soon, according to Reuters.
