So we have heard from many stakeholders that we really don't know enough about what the average consumer thinks about privacy nor the use of his or her information in exchange for free content.

Are you satisfied that sufficient safeguards are in place to prevent similar privacy breaches here in the U.S., or should Americans be concerned?

I think the European-style Do Not Track technology would short-circuit much of this innovation.

I would hope that the least that we can accomplish this year is to provide a privacy bill of rights for children in our country.

I don't believe industry has proven that it is doing enough to protect American consumers, while government, unfortunately, tends to overreach whenever it comes to new regulations.

Today, we have a unique opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of millions of Americans.

It is time for us to declare war on identity theft and online fraud.

We are mad as hell, and we are not going to take this anymore.

It's time for us to declare war on identity theft and online fraud.

Americans need additional safeguards to prevent identity theft, and I will soon introduce legislation designed to accomplish this goal.

The time has come for Congress to take action.

I am confident that the lessons learned will assist us in our efforts to develop new online safeguards for American consumers.

We have a responsibility as lawmakers to make certain that this happens.

We need a uniformed national standard for data security and data breach notification and we need it now.

The time has come for Congress to take decisive action.

If we don't do something soon, what is next and where does it end?

I think it is critical, and I think people don't understand what it means to have been hacked or have your personal information stolen until it has happened.

I stand ready to work with you and our colleagues to pass strong bipartisan data security legislation like the DATA bill that will prevent this from reoccurring.

All companies have a responsibility to protect personal information and to promptly notify customers when their information has been put at risk.

The time has come for Congress to take decisive action. We need a universal national standard for data security and data breach notification, and we need it now.

I fundamentally believe that all consumers have a right to know when their personal information has been compromised.

If 30,000 Americans died in airplane crashes every year, trust me, Congress would take action in a huge way.

If 30,000 Americans died from pesticide exposure, Congress would take action.

If 30,000 Americans died every year from food poisoning, Congress would take action.

I have seen people suffering from opiate withdrawal, so I too care about those people and the pain that they suffer.
