Consumer Reports writes in respectful opposition to S. 332. The bill seeks to provide to New Jersey consumers the right to know the information companies have collected about them, the right to “change” that information, and the right to stop the disclosure of certain information to third parties. However, in its current form it would do little to protect New Jersey consumers’
personal information, or to rein in major tech companies like Google and Facebook. The bill needs to be substantially improved before it is enacted; otherwise, it would risk locking in industry-friendly provisions that avoid actual reform.
