Proposed Legislation to Enhance Privacy for Mobile App Users
Last week, legislation was proposed by a U.S. lawmaker in order to give cell phone users the ability to ask applications to stop collecting personal data as well as delete past information.
On Wednesday, a discussion draft of the Application Privacy, Protection, and Security Act was released by U.S. Representative Hank Johnson from Georgia. This bill proposes that mobile apps must notify users about the information they collect and get permission before obtaining any personal data.
