New York Assemblymember Alex Bores’ New York Digital Choice Act

Idea Category: Artificial Intelligence

New York Assemblymember Alex Bores introduced a landmark legislation called the New York Digital Choice Act that would give New Yorkers control over their social media and personal data. This act sets the groundwork for a healthier, digital ecosystem where individuals set the terms and not platforms.  "The New York Digital Choice Act is about giving people ownership of their social media presence, whether that means downloading their memories, moving to a platform that better serves them, or simply deleting their social media data altogether. People should have ownership of their data. The same way individuals can port their telephone number to a new network or their emails to a new provider, they should be able to move their social media data to whichever company innovates best," said Bores. "This bill is about people, privacy, competition, the free market, and fostering innovation."
