Ep. 66 - Republican leadership impact on data privacy - Post 2024 US Election

The U.S. election is in the rearview mirror, and we're facing a Republican administration and congress. What data privacy changes might be ahead? In today's Privacy Huddle, Jonathan Joseph asks Alysa Hutnik what the new Republican administration means for privacy and data governance. As the balance of power shifts, here's what's on the horizon: ➡️ Changes in House committee leadership. New players will reshape the privacy conversation. Who’s going to take the reins? ➡️ AI regulation under Trump. What (if any) boundaries might emerge as the administration seeks to balance innovation with control? With Elon Musks's involvement, regulation may be light at best. ➡️ FTC shake-up. The end of the Lina Khan era is looming. What will the FTC focus on under new leadership? Alysa has predictions on surveillance capitalism and digital advertising.
