Google co-founders step down, Riot Games pays $10M in harassment suit, and most consumers distrust organizations’ data use

Good morning, PR pros:

A coalition of trade organizations and companies called Privacy for America has announced a “comprehensive new framework” proposal for privacy legislation across the United States.

The framework includes provisions that protect “a vulnerable group of consumers over age 12 and under age 16,” the option for consumers to “request access to and deletion of” any personal information organizations have gathered, requirements to make organizations’ privacy policies “much easier to read and understand,” and more.

.@privacy4america Advisor Stu Ingis: “This framework offers a detailed new approach with robust protections for consumers and clear penalties for companies that do not comply.” Read how the coalition’s new framework will change that: https://t.co/T61CUYHa58
