Massachusetts
Small businesses are the backbone of Massachusetts’ economy — employing more than 1.4 million people and representing 99.5% of businesses in the state. As lawmakers consider new laws and regulations, it’s crucial that they weigh the potential impact on small businesses’ ability to use affordable, effective digital tools to grow, compete, and stay resilient in today’s uncertain economy.
Key Policy Issues
Digital Economy
Data Privacy
Massachusetts is considering a new data privacy bill, S.2516, that could significantly limit small businesses’ ability to use data-driven tools — like digital advertising — to reach customers and make informed business decisions, while exposing them to costly legal risks.
As lawmakers debate this proposal, it’s crucial they consider the real-world impact on small businesses and pursue a balanced approach that protects consumer privacy without undermining the tools small businesses depend on to grow, compete, and succeed.
