Current privacy laws in the US and what’s coming next

The topic of data privacy seems to be on everyone’s lips these days, and not just for the data privacy experts, but increasingly in the mainstream media covering privacy laws in the US. There have been talks of a comprehensive national law, while individual states are currently passing state data privacy laws.
