Biden Renews Call for Federal Privacy Law in State of the Union Address

The president also wants bipartisan legislation on antitrust and children's online safety

President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address urged lawmakers to support a federal privacy law and warned against the dominance of Big Tech. To that, Biden sought tougher rules to resolve privacy and competition issues, along with banning ads targeting children.

“Pass bipartisan legislation to strengthen antitrust enforcement and prevent big online platforms from giving their own products an unfair advantage,” Biden said. “It’s time to pass bipartisan legislation to stop Big Tech from collecting personal data on kids and teenagers online, ban targeted advertising to children and impose stricter limits on the personal data these companies collect on all of us.”
