One step closer to banning this kind of databrokerage as an industry.

This would be great, because it would "validate" GDPR.
Data protection requests would be more likely to be planned-for and succeed if users didn't have to say/prove they were an EU citizen.
Certainly, as a UK citizen who has these protections, but not specifically GDPR, it can be difficult leverage these rights.
More countries adopting these kind of laws will hopefully resolve into a global standard of "right to be forgotten", as long as it doesn't collapse into an XKCD#927 scenario (https://xkcd.com/927)

To be honest this doesn't involve any "culture war" dumbassery so unless Fox starts spewing about how the bill is woke and will turn your kids gay I don't think anyone outside of the usual suspects would vote against it.

Then again the GOP will make the most innocuous thing into a political shitshow, so who knows.

The uh, bipartisan part, kinda hints that both republicans and democrats are pushing it.

Let's make this topic about being able to have better control over your data, rather then pitching sides against each other.

I've been reading through the bill and I have concerns. The bill requires data brokers to register with the commission and they store PII sufficient to identify an individual. Because the registered brokers must report back that they've removed the data, it does give the commission an awful lot of data on people's online activities. Not everyone wants their data linked that way. But as long as I can still do things the hard way, I'm not opposed.
