Consumer data collection & new technology have posed an unprecedented threat to Americans’ privacy. The federal government & private companies have failed to implement policies that protect private data & information.
It’s time to hold companies accountable. This week I’m rolling out draft legislation to establish standards for privacy & cybersecurity, & empower watchdogs to do their jobs, safeguarding Americans from the misuse of their own information by third parties. wyden.senate.gov/news/press-rel…
My bill will protect Americans’ privacy & data by:
✅Establishing minimum cybersecurity standards
✅Giving consumers more control over their own information & who gains access to it
✅Requiring companies to take responsibility for protecting consumers & their info
✅Establishing minimum cybersecurity standards

There need to be consequences when corporations don’t protect your data. My bill will put reckless CEOs in jail if they lie about protecting your personal information.
Congress must take action to increase transparency about how corporations sell, share & use data. I look forward to working with my colleagues in the Senate to put measures in place that will put consumers back in the driver’s seat when it comes to controlling their own data.
