The following is the state’s press release:
… After discovering the data breach, Impact took 10 months to provide notice to Colorado consumers, even though Colorado law generally requires notice of a data breach no later than 30 days after the breach occurs.
… In today’s settlement, the company agreed to pay $25,000 to the Colorado Attorney General’s Office, and an additional $30,000 if it fails to implement other measures, like creating a written information disposal policy, a comprehensive cybersecurity program, and an incident response plan in the event of future data security incidents.

U.S. Supreme Court revives LinkedIn bid to shield personal data
The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday gave Microsoft Corp’s LinkedIn Corp another chance to try to stop rival hiQ Labs Inc from harvesting personal data from the professional networking platform’s public profiles - a practice that LinkedIn contends threatens the privacy of its users.
The justices threw out a lower court ruling that had barred LinkedIn from denying hiQ access to the information that LinkedIn members had made publicly available.

How to Delete Your Personal Data From Public Record Websites

But now, thanks in part to EU data control laws, the sites must give you a reasonable way to remove your details. Even if you live outside the EU, a website must allow you to remove information if it operates within Europe.
Surprised?

What Data About You Can the Government Get From Big Tech?
The New York Times: “The Justice Department, starting in the early days of the Trump administration, secretly sought data from some of the biggest tech companies about journalists, Democratic lawmakers and White House officials as part of wide-ranging investigations into leaks and other matters, The New York Times reported last week. The revelations, which put the companies in the middle of a clash over the Trump administration’s efforts to find the sources of news coverage, raised questions about what sorts of data tech companies collect on their users, and how much of it is accessible to law enforcement authorities. Here’s a rundown..”
In my non-lawyer ignorance, I see unintended consequences everywhere. Can you be a monopoly if you have less than 35% of the market? If you offered customers an option to search only “Amazon products” or “Non-Amazon products,” would that eliminate any concerns about self-promotion? What has changed from 100+ years ago? (Besides every company now looking at global markets rather than only domestic.)

What Are the New US Antitrust Laws and How Will They Take Down Big Tech?
… Five bills have been drafted by the House and submitted for judicial review in response to its findings. These proposals seek to limit the competitive advantage that these companies and others like them enjoy currently.
Marketplace owners, Amazon being one very clear example, will no longer be allowed to promote their own products over others using their platform. Other concerns, such as the eradication of nascent competition by winner-take-all acquisition, are also on the table for discussion.
… According to Sub-section (a) of Section 12 of the Clayton Act, an antitrust law is an initiative that seeks to protect fair trade from monopolies who wish to exploit the market at the expense of every other player in the game.
