I appreciate the support that you and Facebook and now Twitter actually have given to the Honest Ads Act.
We need to have laws and rules that are as sophisticated as the brilliant products that you have developed here, and we just have not done that yet.
If someone breaks into my apartment with a crowbar and they take my stuff, it is just like if the manager gave them the keys or if they did not have any locks on the doors.
I'm working on one, a bipartisan bill. You're going to start seeing some ideas come forward of how to regulate these companies, but the democracy work, the election work has to begin now.
You can't use age as an excuse or cluelessness as an excuse to not do something about what is the biggest privacy concern and the biggest breach we've seen in the decade.
