    If they actually cared about that, they would legislate data privacy laws that keep our data from being sold on the open market. As it is now, everyone from the FBI to your local cops, to the RNC to Chinese or Saudi companies can pay cash for user data. This legislation is largely protectionism for our own domestic surveillance capitalism industry.

      Absolutely agreed, but that’s something republicans would never vote for. This is something that actually has a chance to be implemented.

      Baby steps are better than no steps.
