- This brings back memories of handling fraud and ID theft cases in the early 00s. Companies decided to complying with the strictest states regs instead of having a per state regulation policy. Typically California had the strictest regs and therefore became the national standard for companies. 1/3
- The biggest difference then to now is there was already federal regs on the topic. Some states were making stricter regs than those federal regs. Businesses that had operations or customers in those states took to complying with the strictest reg so they could have "one policy" on the topic. 2/3Jan 10, 2026 15:28
- I do not see a similar set of federal regulations on AI usage, so instead of arguing that "having a bunch of states can lead to de facto strictest being followed" the argument is "take all the safeties off and let this thing run" 3/3
