Everyone focuses on companies misusing data, but I'm getting more worried about government overreach. Am I alone in this, or is it a growing privacy blind spot?

You are alone. What are you afraid of the government knowing? What do you do that you are so worried about this?

You aren’t answering the question. The link is not responsive to the OP. The question was for the bowl not pew research.

Overreach in what sense because the CLOUD Act, FISA, etc., have all been a thing.

Growing blind spot? No, it's intentional. The US government has effective carte blanche to tap data if they really want it. Between the Cloud Act, FISA, warrants, subpoenas, and the direct access feeds they have in place with various telecom operators, it's a free-for-all. And that leaves out the fact that they are free to buy as much data as they want on the open data broker market. And they do.

Unlike the EU, there's no real interest in controlling how government utilizes data via new privacy laws. Regular people have been worried about and either still are or have grown jaded to the point of not caring anymore.

Hi all,
Been doing privacy for about a year now in-house. Got my CIPP/US.
Having major imposter syndrome still. I feel like the minute I finally have a grasp, something changes. The law and nuances just seem overwhelming. Maybe it’s just a lack of guidance/uniformity in the US. I’m not sure if I feel this way because it is simply the nature of the work or because I’m just not capable.
😔

Advice needed!! Have 8+ years of compliance/legal/in house experience (not privacy law except HIPAA). I really want a Privacy Counsel role so I took and passed the CIPP/US and CIPM exams this past year. I’ve been offered an Associate Director job at PwC. Is this a good stepping stone to a Privacy Counsel role? How long should I expect to work at PwC before I could apply to Privacy Counsel roles??
