Like the controversial
California Consumer Privacy Act, it requires businesses to provide a “Do Not Sell or Share” link on their web pages so users can opt-out of data sharing. This approach favors large first-party platforms that collect data from users while they are on their sites. For example, Facebook collects large amounts of data about users’ interactions directly on its own platform and the company’s other properties, like Instagram. This is different from smaller third-party advertising technology companies that rely on relationships with a network of online publishers.
If the Florida privacy bill passes, “walled gardens” like Facebook can continue to enhance their products and advertising services using their own first-party data, while preventing smaller ad-tech companies from doing the same using third-party data. This harms ad-tech companies who would be placed at a competitive disadvantage.
