I plan to work with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to craft strong, comprehensive privacy legislation that puts consumers first.

You can't rely on self-disclosure alone, that you need an enforcement program to create the incentive.

Today the committee begins critical oversight of the Trump EPA's enforcement program, something that the previous Republican majority ignored.

Let there be no doubt that this committee will continue to hold the Trump administration accountable.

It is time that we move past the old model that protects the companies using the data and not the people.

Privacy isn't just about major incidents or predictions of the future, it is an everyday issue constantly affecting our lives and the lives of our children.

Some uses of our data is certainly concerning.

I said that it appears that the Trump EPA is relying on industry to voluntarily come forward and disclose when they are not in compliance.

We renamed the subcommittee to emphasize the importance of putting consumers first, and that is the lens through which I view the important issue of consumer privacy.

Why should I believe that the worst offenders would voluntarily come forward?

There is no doubt that the Trump EPA's enforcement records is abysmal, the worst in decades.

In some cases, data use results in discrimination, differential pricing, and even physical harm.
