Amy Klobuchar

Of course, I sit in the seat that was held by Paul Wellstone, who was such an advocate for mental health parity.

Thank you for your time and your really good work and your commitment to making the FTC as bipartisan as it has been for so long.

That's why we are looking at it as a way to get them the resources to do it as well as the Justice Department

So when you were talking about the town growing, the other thing that has really grown, as the commissioners know, is mergers, and we've had a 50 percent increase in the number of mergers in just the last 5 years.

Privacy is a fundamental right that must be protected.

I introduced a bill last month that would fund energy storage capacity at the Department of Energy.

I think we have had a very, I would say, watershed year that we have never seen before when it comes to consumer privacy.

Senator Kennedy and I have our Social Media Privacy Protection and Consumer Rights Act, which I think just has some baseline protections.

The bill I wrote with Senator Kennedy preserves the rights of State Attorneys General to take action against companies when privacy violations occur.

Broadband should be a major part of any infrastructure package.

As we work to close the digital divide, it's critical we understand where broadband is available and it's not.

We need to ramp that up again.

This is the infrastructure challenge of our generation.

We need to ensure that all Americans have access to high-speed internet.

You're saying there's never been a case where you drank so much that you didn't remember what happened the night before or part of what happened?

It really goes to the fundamental misuse of the Internet.

The standards and enforcement are centralized at the FTC.

I think you all know this comes at a critical moment when we are, for the first time, seriously looking at privacy legislation.

The Honest Ads Act, and I'll ask you about that, Mr. Enright. We've gotten support for that bill.

I do think that this has something to do with privacy because a lot of these political ads that have come from Russia and other places have interfered with people's privacy.

Our bill requires that online platforms make plain language disclosures regarding how personal data will be collected and used.

Do you all believe that we need some kind of Federal legislation to take place here so that we have some kind of privacy standard for consumers?

It says that for online political ads, there has to be disclosure and disclaimers, including for issue ads.

They've used photos of people that didn't consent to have them used.
