A clear example of this is the current battle being played out between FCC and FTC on who gets
to define digital privacy.


Also, while the US does not currently have federal general privacy protection legislation in place
that applies broadly to the private sector andcorporations[1] , many states have implemented
consumer privacy protection laws, including California, Massachusetts and Florida.


The New York state legislature currently has a bill in committee for an Online Privacy Protection
and Internet Safety Act, which includes a provision for a data breach group that would include the
state attorney general, state officials and CIO and the Homeland Security commissioner.



In Australia, regulators and legislators have worked with enterprises to define self-regulatory
frameworks and standards in order to ensure responsible protection of consumer privacy. The
outcome is that guiding federal privacy principles are more focused on practical implications for
the implementation of privacy policies and protections.



By contrast, Canada’s PIPEDA (Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act)
emphasizes operating principles and hews more closely to the EU’s comprehensive approach to
the citizen’s right to privacy.



the Privacy Act applies to federal agencies: stablishes a Code of Fair Information Practice that
governs the collection, maintenance, use, and dissemination of personally identifiable information
about individuals that is maintained in systems of records by federal agencies.
