White House Backs New Privacy Laws, Section 230 Overhaul

The White House on Thursday called for a host of new technology laws — including ones that would restrict data collection and targeted advertising.

“There should be clear limits on the ability to collect, use, transfer, and maintain our personal data, including limits on targeted advertising,” the administration stated Thursday at a meeting regarding tech platforms. “We especially need strong protections for particularly sensitive data such as geolocation and health information, including information related to reproductive health.”
