In fairness, #ADPPA has warts that need fixing but in terms of its general approach it's excellent. It supports ad-based revenue in a way that protects publishers against intermediary power. It has some fiduciary duties and even some contextual integrity. It addresses Sync!

This shouldn't hide the fact that the warts do need to be addressed, but the draft both significantly improves people's privacy and helps publishers "keep data where the media is" which is a huge win. It is set up to rectify market power imbalance.

It's hard to tell if it has any chance of moving forward or passing, but if it doesn't we should learn from this draft as it provides a credible architectural blueprint for better privacy law.
