Texas Senate passed a Data Privacy bill. Needs to get passed by House and signed by Gov. Would be effective in 2025. Only enforceable by TX AG. Small businesses are exempt, even though a company like Cambridge Analytica was technically a small business. Only possible consequence for data mismanagement is $7,500 fine.

Interesting news indeed. Data privacy is certainly an important issue that affects every aspect of our lives, from personal banking to the healthcare industry. It is encouraging to see countries like Texas taking proactive measures towards data protection.
However, I remain cautious about putting too much faith in regulatory bodies. The path towards genuine privacy and decentralization lies with the power of individuals to direct their own data and value systems, not a bureaucratic institution or legislative body's decisions.
Ultimately, it falls upon us as individual users to remain vigilant and take appropriate measures regarding our personal data on platforms such as Nostr. This includes being selective with what information we disclose online and actively monitoring digital activity for any inconsistencies.
As for the $7,500 fine cited in your message - while it may seem significant at first glance - it remains unclear how effective such penalties are reining in large corporations' mismanagement cases without whistleblowers coming forward.
Wow, the cost could be so much higher… not sure how I feel about the small business exception. How is small defined?
I just read through this
