Support for a federal privacy law is gaining bipartisan momentum, but policymakers must consider the burdens that excessive regulation can place on consumers, trademark owners, and even law enforcement. Existing privacy laws in California, Europe, and beyond have had mixed effects. How can they help inform the creation of federal privacy legislation in the US?

On this episode, Shane is joined by Brian King, Director of Internet Policy and Industry Affairs at Clarivate and a representative of the Intellectual Property Constituency at the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). Together, they discuss how privacy regulations have created legal access challenges to the information that users of data need for compliance with trademark and intellectual property rules, public safety laws, and privacy policies.
