Why i dont have cable
http://privacy.med.miami.edu/glossary/xd_ccpa.htm
Under the CCPA, cable companies must provide a written notice of privacy practices to each subscriber at the time of entering into a service contract and at least once a year after. The CCPA protects the personal information of customers of cable service providers.
I'd give it a solid B because there could be many holes, but it still has good concept. The cable providers could give their customers a written notice in super small print. -

We need to know
https://www.cdt.org/privacy/guide/protect/laws.php
The Electronic Communications Privacy Act ensures that personal information collected by Web sites and Internet service providers is protected from disclosure. Also it prevents government access to personal information collected and stored at Web sites.
Id give it a B+ because its a very good idea and something that we definitely need, but i feel like there would be endless ways around this Act. -
Children have privacy too
https://www.cdt.org/privacy/guide/protect/laws.php
CDT believes that it is time for Congress and relevant stake holders to develop a bi-partisan national privacy policy for the Internet. While efforts at self-regulation continue, and are a necessary component of the electronic marketplace, legislation will speed the adoption of Fair Information Practices across the market, provide a level playing field, and ensure that bad actors are deterred.
A- because childrens privacy is very important. -

Employers, just stop

Six states--California, Delaware, Illinois, Maryland, Michigan and New Jersey--enacted legislation in 2012 that prohibits requesting or requiring an employee, student or applicant to disclose a user name or password for a personal social media account
I'll give this a solid A, because it is something that emplyers defnitely shouldnt be able do. -
