Got me, I'm not American, but isn't it true?

California Consumer Privacy Act is a thing you need to take into account for Californian customers.

Illinois has a Biometric Privacy Act.

And who knows what Wyoming or South Dakota or Oregon have that you might take into account if your business falls under any of them.

we might be somewhat trending in this direction, but the reality is largely that the US states are pretty identical and have very similar laws on the books. the federal government is in charge of commerce usually.

most laws like CCPA also have some threshold where you already need to be pretty successful for it to apply to you.

for some select industries (biometrics & healthcare), yes you have a patchwork of laws.

How much oversight is there and how strong is? And if you cover Califronia, New york, Texas and Florida. Would those other places really stop you, specifically if its online? And even if you get fined, how much is that fine going to be?

Because they are plenty of companies just ignoring regulation and simply paying the fines, as the enforcement often a joke.

TBH, in this respect it's much the same in the EU.

Americans are definitely aware of it in some areas, e.g. any sort of licensing.
