Note, just to be clear, that this is federal legislation, not Oregon state legislation.
While I appreciate this, it would be really nice if they would just extend to all electronic devices.
data brokerage is a multi-billion dollar industry with entire armies of lobyists from Google, Apple, Tesla (probably) and who knows who else.

About freaking time, man. This one has always been on my mind. It can’t be like that. It’s messed up. Glad someone is making a move.
Can…we also get gdpr style protections please. I think we deserve nice things, too. 🥺
Not with that attitude. Seriously, we’ll need to be absolutely furious if we ever want something to be done about something we care about
Does anyone remember anger?
Idk, I see liberals telling everyone to be calm and content and that the economy is great and getting better.
I totally get the reason and vibe they’re going for, but they’re basically saying don’t be righteously furious and ignore reality, imo, while they capitulate on claims that crime and immigration are bigger problems. I guess, I just don’t know that significant economic/social change has ever happened without pissed-off people fighting like their lives depend on it
Most people I know know about the drake beef and the Diddy scandal, but I couldn’t even count like 5 people that I know personally that could name their senators or explain what the electoral college is.
I think most of us prefer to ignore our emotions, and I think anything related to politics beings up uncomfortable emotions for people so they just don’t do it and stay away from the topic
Betcha we will see insurance companies come out of the woodwork to lobby against this like crazy.
