Could Congress actually pass a data privacy law?

Hello and welcome to Equity, a podcast about the startup business, where we reveal the numbers and the nuances behind the headlines. It’s our Monday show, where we explore the weekend and take a look at the week ahead.

Now that we’re finally past Y Combinator’s demo day – although our Friday show is worth listening to if you haven’t had a chance yet – we can dive into the latest news. So this morning on Equity Monday, we had the opportunity that the United States could pass a real data privacy law. There is movement to report, but we are still very, very far from anything becoming law.

Elsewhere, the US and TSMC have a new deal, there’s gaming news to consider (and a company tie-in) and Spotify’s latest AI projects, which I’m sure will delight some and will bore others. Press play and let’s talk about the news!

Oh, and on the crypto front, I forgot to mention that digital token trading volume appears to have partially stopped its free fall, which should help some exchanges breathe a little easier.
