"Is there anybody here who believes that American citizens deserve less privacy protection than European citizens?"

"We can no longer rely on notice and choice, on voluntary standards, on transparency, and consent. There needs to be privacy by design."

"The fact is that consumers have no meaningful Federal protection for consumer data."

"Is there anybody here who believes that the people of Connecticut or anywhere else in the Nation should have less privacy protection than the people of California?"
