Privacy for America Comments on CFPB Proposed Rulemaking on Data Broker Practices

Privacy for America submitted comments on the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s Notice of Proposed Rulemaking regarding “Protecting Americans from Harmful Data Broker Practices.” Privacy for America writes that the proposed rule would significantly alter existing law to expand the Fair Credit Reporting Act’s coverage to virtually all uses of data in the economy, a significant reimagination of the statute that is not likely to withstand judicial scrutiny.
