In this episode, we discuss the growing importance of privacy regulations in the United States, specifically focusing on the recent partnership between the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). We also discuss how the CCPA, modelled after the European GDPR, has become a significant force in data privacy, while the FCC has historically focused on telecommunications issues. The partnership between these two agencies aims to improve data privacy protections for consumers by sharing resources, coordinating investigations, and strengthening enforcement.
