Published Thu, 21 Nov 2024 21:35:44 GMT

Washington (CNN) — The US government plans to rein in the vast data broker industry with new, privacy-focused regulations that aim to safeguard millions of Americans’ personal information from data breaches, violent criminals and even artificial intelligence chatbots.The coming proposal by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau would extend existing regulations that govern credit reports, arrest records and other data to what the agency describes as the “surveillance industry,” or the sprawling economy of businesses that traffic in increasingly digitized personal information.The potential rules, which are not yet public or final, could bar data brokers from selling certain types of consumer information — including a person’s income or their criminal and payment history — except in specific circumstances, the CFPB said.The push could also see new restrictions on the sale of personal information such as Social Security numbers, names and addresses, which the CFPB...

David Krejci’s body told him it was time to bid the National Hockey League farewell.While Krejci, who announced his retirement from the Bruins on Monday, left the door open to play in Europe after the New Year’s in preparation for possible participation in the World Championships when the tournament will be held in Prague, the Czechia-born centerman knew his 37-year-old frame could not hold up to the rigors of a full schedule in the best league in the world.Krejci didn’t go into the 2022-23 season knowing it was going to be his last, but the injuries that kept him out of the final six games of the regular season and three playoff games removed most of the doubt. He said to continue playing in the NHL he would need surgery (he did not identify the injury) and that’s not something he was willing to do at this stage.He didn’t want to announce anything right at the end of the season, especially after the painful upset loss to the Florida Panthers, so he wan...
