#NEW🚨: On April 6, the Maryland Senate accepted House amendments to SB 541, the Maryland Online Data Privacy Act (MODPA), and sent the bill to Governor Moore for signing. If enacted, MODPA could be a paradigm-shifting addition to the state privacy law landscape and potentially a distinct, third-model for comprehensive state privacy legislation. FPF’s Jordan Francis highlights 10 things about MODPA that set it apart in the state privacy landscape, including: ➡️Novel Data Minimization: Establishes a new data minimization framework that imposes default limitations on the collection and processing of personal data. ➡️Additional Prohibitions: Prohibits selling sensitive data, targeting ads to minors, and selling minors’ personal data ➡️Civil Rights Protections: Incorporates an additional civil rights protection derived from the American Data Privacy and Protection Act of 2022 (ADPPA) Read our new blog post to learn more about the novel provisions in MODPA and what it means for the state privacy law landscape!  https://lnkd.in/gHDBXz24 #stateprivacy #maryland
