The ACLU of Connecticut urges for amendments to S.B. 1356, An Act Concerning Data Privacy, Online Monitoring, Social Media, and Data Brokers. Passage of this bill means Connecticut would be a true leader in the data privacy space. This bill includes a ban on the sale of your sensitive data, a ban on targeted advertising and the sale of data for minors, and more.
We are urging lawmakers to strengthen some of the language and anti-discrimination provisions.
Learn more about the bill and how to testify below.
