The article discusses how U.S. privacy laws differ from the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and how the GDPR might impact privacy in the U.S. U.S. laws are sector-specific, while the GDPR covers all sectors. Key U.S. privacy protections include the Fourth Amendment and state privacy laws. The conflict between the GDPR's right to be forgotten and the U.S. First Amendment's protection of speech is a major concern. U.S. focus has shifted to handling data breaches and defining privacy harms, especially with state and federal privacy laws evolving.
