Various civil society organizations celebrated the movement of the American Privacy Rights Act (APRA) and urged Congress to pass the privacy law. The Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) "commended the Subcommittee and Chair McMorris Rodgers for their work." The Center for American Progress also urged Congress to pass APRA, highlighting the pressing need for comprehensive privacy and children's safety laws.
However, some organizations criticized APRA for its perceived shortcomings or impacts on specific industries. A coalition of seven financial trade associations published a letter urging Congress to exempt certain financial institutions from APRA's requirements. Additionally, small business owners at the Connected Commerce Council expressed concerns about APRA's impact on their companies.
