Transparency would be helpful to know what the fees are. Is that right?

So powerful that you literally can have a bill that got through the Judiciary Committee with strong bipartisan support, you can get promises from leaders that it's going to be a major end-of-year bill and then within 24 hours, it's gone…

It's only going to change if the people of this country say, 'This is enough. This is corrupt. You've got to do something. Put some rules in place when it comes to social media.'
