Microsoft Lauds Nebraska Privacy Bill

Microsoft applauded Nebraska lawmakers for passing a comprehensive privacy bill last week. “Microsoft is steadfast in our commitment to protect consumer privacy and work with policymakers at the state and federal level to advance robust privacy legislation,” a spokesperson emailed. Nebraska passing a Texas-style privacy bill drew concern Friday from Consumer Reports that the bill lacks teeth and doesn’t cover enough companies (see 2404120047). The bill still needs a signature from Gov. Jim Pillen (R) to become law.
