Abstract
This Note explores the current state of federal consumer data privacy laws in the United States and proposes a comprehensive consumer data privacy law—one that includes a right to be forgotten — that would not violate the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Section II of this Note provides a background of federal data privacy laws in the United States and identifies the need for a comprehensive consumer data privacy law at the federal level. Section III contends that such a law would be justified as an exercise of Congress’ power to regulate interstate commerce and proposes a federal consumer data privacy law designed to respect the First Amendment’s guarantee of free speech.
