States are enacting their own online data privacy laws, creating a hodgepodge of restrictions that telecom and tech companies increasingly are railing against.
Last month, Maine Gov. Janet Mills signed into law what is now considered the nation's toughest set of restrictions on internet service providers (ISPs). The law, which goes into effect on July 1, 2020, bars companies from using, selling or distributing customer data without the customer's consent.
