Privacy Perspectives Podcast: State
Legislation — What's Moving and
What It Means
In this episode of Privacy Perspectives,
Alex Schneider
is joined by
Laura Riposo VanDruff,
Salim Rashid, and
Joseph Cahill
for a focused discussion on what has
become one of the most active state
legislative seasons for AI regulation. The
group maps the landscape across five
emerging categories of AI bills —
companion chatbot disclosures, deepfake
and watermarking requirements, frontier
model transparency obligations,
algorithmic discrimination rules, and AI
liability frameworks — and examines what
the pace of activity means for companies
trying to build durable compliance
programs. They also talk about
Colorado's recently passed SB 189,
which is effectively a repeal and
replacement of the original Colorado AI
Act, what changed, what was removed, and
the associated compliance planning
challenges.
NAD Determines 100% Claims Aren't
100% Clear
SharkNinja makes the Shark NeverChange Air
Purifier MAX. Ads for the air purifier
show a display on the product that reads:
"Clean Air 100%." In a recent
Fast-Track SWIFT challenge, Dyson argued
that consumers are likely to interpret the
claim as meaning complete removal of all
impurities from the air.
FTC's "Future of Consumer
Financial Protection" Workshop:
GLBA Pretexting and FTC Consumer Redress
Priorities
On May 14, 2026, the FTC co-hosted a
workshop with George Mason University Law
School's Institute for Consumer
Financial Choice. The workshop examined
developments in the financial services
sector in the last five years, and
featured opening remarks from Chris
Mufarrige, Director of the FTC's
Bureau of Consumer Protection. The
workshop provided an opportunity for
Director Mufarrige to reiterate the
FTC's support for Gramm‑Leach‑Bliley
Act (GLBA) pretexting as an enforcement
tool in the wake of
AMG Capital v. FTC.
Homeaglow to Pay $2.3 M over
Auto-Renewals and Review Claims
The same week the FTC announced that
Shutterstock had agreed to pay $35 million
to
settle
a suit over its automatic renewal and
cancellation practices, the Washington AG
secured a $2.25 million settlement with
cleaning service Homeaglow over its
automatic renewal practices and review
claims.
Shutterstock to Pay $35 Million Over
Auto‑Renewal and Cancellation
Practices
According to a complaint filed by the FTC,
when the FTC filed a
lawsuit
against Adobe over its subscription
practices in 2024, people at Shutterstock
took notice. When an employee referenced
the lawsuit in a Slack communication and
worried that Shutterstock would "be
next," a Senior Product Manager
responded: "hopefully we can get away
with it." Now we know the answer.
