Americans are sharing more of their personal information online than ever before, which is why it is time for a national privacy standard. We need clear rules of the road to ensure Americans the same data protections wherever they go. Privacy does not end at state lines and Americans deserve better than a patchwork of different and conflicting state laws.
Yesterday, Energy and Commerce Republicans unveiled a comprehensive legislative framework that establishes one national privacy standard to protect Americans and sets clear rules for consumer privacy and data security in the U.S.
Here is what industry experts and top voices in privacy are saying about the Energy and Commerce Republicans’ new privacy framework.
Jason Oxman, President and CEO, Information Technology Industry Council
Craig Albright, Vice President, Legislative Strategy at BSA
Jordan Crenshaw, VP, Chamber Technology Engagement Center, U.S. Chamber of Commerce
Jeff Joseph, President and CEO, Software and Information Industry Association
Carl Holshouser, Senior Vice President, TechNet
K. Dane Snowden, President and CEO, Internet Association
Every Republican Member of our Consumer Protection and Commerce Subcommittee will be leading on our solutions to protect people’s privacy. Here is what they’re saying about the bill.
We must have a uniform national privacy standard to protect all Americans. https://t.co/prHfw2PttM
