Bob Goodlatte: “Just to say to the gentleman from Georgia that I have good news for him. There is absolutely no way that anyone can…”

Just to say to the gentleman from Georgia that I have good news for him. There is absolutely no way that anyone can, under this legislation, find out any of his video-viewing habits unless he consents, with informed consent, with a separate consent to allowing that information to be made known to anybody. Again, this legislation makes good sense. It's what consumers want in the 21st century. It's how they share their information online. And those who don't want to share their information this way do not have to give this consent. Therefore, this legislation, I think, strikes the right balance. I urge my colleagues to support the legislation, and I yield back the balance of my time.
