Big news for digital privacy in Delaware! The state legislature has passed a major amendment to the Delaware Personal Data Privacy Act (DPDPA). If signed into law, it will take effect on January 1, 2027, making it one of the most robust privacy frameworks in the U.S. 🛡️
Here is what you need to know:
Tighter Controls: It significantly lowers the number of consumers a company can process data for before being required to comply, bringing more businesses under the law's reach.
Expanded "Sensitive Data": The definition now includes neural data, national origin, reproductive health status, government IDs, and financial account info. Companies will generally be prohibited from selling this data without your explicit consent.
AI & Profiling Rights: You gain more control over how algorithms use your data to make life-altering decisions (like credit, housing, or hiring). If you are hit with an "adverse action" due to automated profiling, you have new rights to be notified and informed of the data used.
Transparency: You can now request a list of the specific third parties your data has been shared with, rather than just vague categories.

On top of a merger of US & Israeli military R&D, the admin wants to establish massive US military bases inside Israel.
Here’s why trying to turn Israel into America’s “aircraft carrier in the Middle East” makes the region a much more dangerous place...

@elsua54 For this reply... Yes! We are in a desperate situation:
It's all measurable even if you believe only 50% of #news and ignore other people's justified #complaints / experiences of 'work'.
Created / forced into debt / inflation,
Bad managers in most / all sectors,
Uncaring states doing bad work...
'Incentives' are different in meaning if in a desperate situation - abuse after the people are robbed previously / increasingly.
