What’s wrong with 2SSB 6281 |
How to fix the problem |
Allows Facial Recognition |
Permits use of an inaccurate and biased technology that hurts everyone, but especially people of color. (Section 17) |
Stop use of facial recognition until biases can be addressed. |
Prohibits Consumers from Suing |
Does not allow consumers to sue if their rights are violated. (Section 11) |
Add a right for individual consumers to take legal action. |
Contains Loopholes |
Gives companies ways to overrule consumers who try to stop the use of their data. (Sections 4 and 10) |
Assure that consumers have the last word about what happens to their data. |
Handcuffs Local Government |
Prevents counties and cities from enacting stronger privacy protections. (Section 14) |
Create a floor, not a ceiling for the protections that Washingtonians are entitled to. |
