The House Commerce Committee recently approved a new federal data privacy bill with a strong 53-2 bipartisan majority. The vote suggests that the House is likely to pass it.

The American Data Privacy and Protection Act intends to rein in Big Tech giants and platforms such as Facebook, Google, and Amazon while giving people more control over how their data are used. But although its goals are worthwhile, the bill is likely to backfire on conservatives. The bill may also entrench the oligopoly of the very tech giants it’s aimed at while giving bureaucrats more influence over what we see online.
