U.S.: “We have to consider the European GDPR”

Brendan Eich, CEO of the decentralized Blockchain-based browser “Brave” has urged the U.S. Senate to consider European privacy standards. In particular, as reported by Ana Alexandre on CoinTelegraph, he has urged the legislator to consider the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) as a regulatory model.
Eich has noted that the principles of the GDPR comply with the U.S. legal understanding of privacy. He has stated that the primary principles of the GDPR are based on those which the U.S. endorsed in the OECD Guidelines on the Protection of Privacy and Transborder Flows of Personal Data in 1980.
