No Privacy Bill Yet
from the wait-'til-next-year dept
While there was a ton of talk earlier this year about the various privacy bill proposals weaving their way through Congress, it looks like nothing's going to be done on them this year. Congress has said they'll keep working to "fine tune" the bill (does that mean move it in the direction of whichever lobbyist donates the most to their campaign?), but it's going to take some time.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
