Franken Bill Would Protect Consumers Location Data
GovTechGuy writes "Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) unveiled a new bill on Wednesday that would require firms like Apple and Google to obtain consent from consumers before collecting or sharing their smartphone location data with third parties. The bill would cover all mobile devices including tablets and require firms to inform consumers when they collect their data and allow them to delete it when requested."
Al Franken? I thought that a Franken bill was a bill with all sorts of unrelated riders on it; from the story of Frankenstein's monster.
