Quoting Clancy
“What's needed is a comprehensive approach to protecting personal consumer information that covers both broadband providers and web service companies.” “Achieving this has been challenging with regulatory and operational authorities distributed across several agencies, including the Federal Communications Commission, Federal Trade Commission, and Department of Homeland Security. This bill overturns the Federal Communications Commission's attempt at beefing up protections, which were not entirely consistent with existing Federal Trade Commission rules. Regardless of the outcome of this vote, the underlying fundamental issues need to be addressed.”
