The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has introduced a new data transfer rule that affects hiring practices, business operations, and vendor management. This final rule applies to anonymized, pseudonymized, and de-identified data, requiring data licensors to review their privacy and cybersecurity programs to ensure compliance. Legal experts have highlighted the implications and compliance requirements associated with the DOJ's bulk personal data rule, which has recently become effective. Concurrently, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) under the Trump administration has signaled a shift in regulatory priorities, with a particular emphasis on children's privacy as a top enforcement focus. Additionally, U.S. states are advancing new regulations on artificial intelligence, and senators have urged the FTC to increase scrutiny over consumer neural data. These developments indicate a broader regulatory landscape evolving around data protection, privacy, and emerging technologies.
