Abstract:
This thesis explores the notions of data privacy in the United States and its flaws on a national scale. Other than the fact that the Federal Government of the United States does not have a comprehensive data policy legislation, the United States only has limited existing policies. On a state-level, there are examples, such as the Commonwealth of Virginia, who have comprehensive data privacy acts that protect their citizens at little cost. Ultimately, this leads to implications of lack of digital sovereignty in the United States because of the fact that data becomes easily accessible for malignant purposes by foreign adversary nations, such as the People's Republic of China.
