The Quest for National Privacy
Despite years of attempts, the US lacks a unified federal privacy law, leading to a patchwork of state regulations (CCPA in California, etc.). This situation is creating significant friction for US businesses (simulated late 2025 context). The strong 'Yes' vote is driven by the consensus that a version of the American Data Privacy and Protection Act (ADPPA) or similar legislation is nearing a critical mass of support. The increasing public concern over data exploitation and the desire from industry for a single, preemptive federal standard (rather than dealing with 50 different state laws) are powerful forces expected to overcome legislative inertia and lead to the passage of a major, comprehensive federal privacy law before the end of 2028.
