Sadly, as we heard at yesterday's hearing with Facebook, protecting privacy does not always happen.
Bill Nelson
The Public Record
Bill Nelson is an American politician and attorney who served as a United States Senator from Florida from 2001 to 2019. A member of the Democratic Party, he previously represented Florida's 9th congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1993 to 2001. Nelson also held the position of Florida's Insurance Commissioner from 1995 to 1999, where he focused on consumer protection and insurance reform.
I asked him if he had notified the 87 million people that their data was stolen as a result of the Cambridge Analytica scandal...
The FTC is the lead Federal agency protecting consumers by bringing enforcement actions against companies that encounter data breaches...
The FTC is a small agency with a critical mandate--protecting consumers from 'unfair or deceptive acts or practices.'
I have asked Chairman Thune to haul Cambridge Analytica in to answer these questions at a separate hearing.
We want to haul Cambridge Analytica in to answer these questions at a separate hearing.
How can American consumers trust folks like your company to be caretakers of their most personal and identifiable information?
If you and other social media companies do not get your act in order, none of us are going to have any privacy anymore.
Well, the recent scandal is obviously frustrating not only because it affected 87 million but because it seems to be part of a pattern of lax data practices by the company going back years.
