21 States Move to Protect Consumer Privacy on Internet. Au Revoir Federal Internet Privacy. Bonjour State Internet Privacy.

  • Prohibit penalties or discounts based on consent

Federal preemption isn’t a concern because the FCC laws and rules share duties with the states and there is no explicit preemption.
