Impactful Policy Frameworks
State-Level Data Privacy Laws (e.g., CPRA 2023, VCDPA 2023)
Various U.S. states, following the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) in 2023 and the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (VCDPA) in 2023, have enacted or are developing comprehensive consumer data privacy laws, granting consumers more control over their personal data and imposing obligations on businesses regarding data collection, processing, and sharing.
These laws necessitate stricter data handling practices, impact personalized advertising capabilities, and require enhanced consent mechanisms for businesses engaged in digital marketing.
Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Enforcement on Deceptive AI Practices (2023-Present)
The FTC has indicated increased scrutiny and enforcement actions against companies using AI in ways that are unfair, deceptive, or anticompetitive, particularly concerning AI-generated content that could mislead consumers or unfair algorithmic biases.
This policy requires agencies to ensure transparency and accuracy in their AI-driven marketing campaigns, particularly with generative AI content, to avoid legal repercussions and maintain consumer trust.
TCPA and CAN-SPAM Act Modernization Efforts (Ongoing)
While not new, there are ongoing discussions and potential modernizations of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) and the CAN-SPAM Act to address evolving communication methods, including stricter rules for text message marketing and email outreach, particularly concerning consent requirements for automated calls and messages.
These updates will directly affect Valve+Meter's outbound lead generation services (cold calling, appointment setting) and email marketing, requiring rigorous adherence to opt-in consents and clear disclosure practices.
