Chamber 5 · Clause §6
Privacy rules are built in.
Semios follows US state privacy rules from day one. While Semios is still being built, you handle your own reporting where you live.
What exists
In January 2025, the FTC settled with data broker Mobilewalla over 500 million consumer identifiers paired with precise, non-anonymous location data.
Mobilewalla had paired the IDs with location traces: visits to reproductive health clinics, places of worship, protests. They resold them. The FTC pursued a parallel case against Gravy Analytics for the same kind of data. Location is the easiest signal to abuse when nothing local protects it.

What is possible
By 2025, twenty US states had comprehensive consumer privacy laws. Nine of them formed a consortium to enforce together.
California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Texas, and fifteen others. California's Delete Act fines brokers $200 per consumer per day for failing to delete data on request. In late 2025, nine states (California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Indiana, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oregon) formed a consortium to investigate and enforce together. Privacy law in the US runs at the state level now.
