[gpl_list] HB 2866

[SMITH Cy * DAS]

Hi folks, I was made aware recently of HB 2866<https://olis.leg.state.or.us/liz/2019R1/Measures/Overview/HB2866>.  My take on this bill is that it would disrupt useful services, like Waze, that rely on geolocation data collected continuously from thousands of devices across the state to provide aggregated information...traffic congestion in the case of Waze.  I believe the intention of this bill is to reduce or eliminate direct advertising in real time to devices, but I think the authors have overreached.  The ACLU has tried in the last two Congresses to pass similar legislation without success.  It appears they are now trying to set a precedent in state legislatures, probably to take another run at national legislation.  Thoughts?
