Indiana Amends Breach Notification Law to Require Notification Within 45 Days

Linn Foster Freedman of Robinson + Cole writes:

Indiana has amended its breach notification law to require entities to notify individuals “without unreasonable delay, but not more than forty-five (45) days after the discovery of the breach.” It clarifies that a delay is “reasonable” if it is: “(1) necessary to restore the integrity of the computer system; (2) necessary to discover the scope of the breach; or (3) in response to a request from the attorney general or a law enforcement agency to delay disclosure because disclosure will: (A) impede a criminal or civil investigation; or (B) jeopardize national security.” Ind. Code § 24-4.9-3-3 (2022)
The law goes into effect on July 2, 2022.

Discover Which Corporations are Biggest Regulatory Violators and Lawbreakers Throughout US

Philip Mattera – Research Director of Good Jobs First & Director of the Corporate Research Project: “The latest expansion of Violation Tracker includes more than 2,000 consumer protection and safety cases brought by state public utility commissions across the country over the past two decades. We’ve published a report called Policing the Grid which analyzes the enforcement actions. Among the key findings: California accounts for well over half of the $13 billion in fines and settlements collected by the states, largely because of $5 billion paid by Pacific Gas & Electric for causing wildfires and other offenses.”

EU targets Big Tech with sweeping new antitrust legislation

The EU has unveiled its biggest ever legislative effort to balance competition in the tech world. The new Digital Markets Act, or DMA, is intended to rein in the power of the largest tech corporations and allow smaller entities to compete with the mostly US-based firms. So far, the EU has tackled antitrust issues on a case-by-case basis, but the DMA is intended to introduce sweeping reforms that will address systemic issues in the whole market.

Today’s announcement targets interoperability of messaging apps like WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, and iMessage, with the EU saying that vendors will have to “open up and interoperate with smaller messaging platforms, if they so request.” [I can have access to TikTok’s millions of users just by asking? Bob] The EU says that this should give users more choice in how they send messages, without having to worry about what platform the recipient is on. There’s also a requirement that users should be able to “freely choose their browser, virtual assistants or search engines.”

The legislation hasn’t passed yet — the EU says the language has to be finalized and checked, at which point it’ll have to be approved by Parliament and Council. In a press conference held early Friday morning, Vestager said she expects DMA to come into force “sometime in October.” Owners of messaging platforms will likely have staggered obligations, from three months to four years, depending upon the complexities of the integrations requested.
