This panel will discuss the status of federal and state privacy legislation and other policy proposals in the United States, and how they may shift in the wake of the pandemic. How does the balance between privacy and other social welfare interests shift in a crisis? Will privacy enforcement priorities shift? Will there be a stronger push for harmonization with foreign privacy laws and policies?
