Informative article. As for that executive order, it's a sad day when we developers let a meatspace government hand down standards by fiat. If there needs to be standards, then we'll come up with them, no need for old Joe to stick his nose in the matter. This is almost certainly going to end up like that GDPR nonsense; certain companies pushing the matter because they can make a few bucks off it, but in the end it all amounts to nothing more than unneeded headaches for devs and pointless extra clicks for users.
