Rep. Doug Fiefia (R)

HB 418 (Social Media User Data Swapping)

Libertas Institute opposes this bill.

This bill would force social media companies to re-engineer their platforms so that it’s easier to track users across different services.

Libertas opposes this bill. One of the leading methods for protecting people’s data online is to keep that data secure in one place. This bill would force social media companies to create a method of transferring that data to third parties, effectively opening up people’s personal information to breaches.
