Turns out that Florida’s greatest rivalry is not between FSU and UF. Rather, it appears to be between businesses and consumers. At least, that is how it appears to be if you examine the Florida Legislature’s latest maneuverings on the proposed Florida Consumer Data Privacy Act.
If you have read my previous writings on this subject or watched the video, you may safely skip the next two paragraphs. In February, the Legislature took up consideration of a bill (in both Houses) that would have aligned Florida with California and Europe in its treatment of consumer privacy. Consumers would have rights concerning the data that businesses possess about them. Governor DeSantis stood behind the bill apparently as a means of striking back at evil “Big Tech” (full disclosure, I am a tech and data governance lawyer).
