Today, Congresswoman Suzan DelBene (WA-01) released the following statement on current policy discussions surrounding Americans’ personal information.

“The debates around issues like TikTok, FISA, and AI make painfully clear to Americans how vulnerable their personal information is for collection, misuse, and sale to third parties. The same was true after Roe v. Wade was overturned and people realized their personal health information was vulnerable. Technology has advanced faster than lawmakers can keep up and we are already far behind other countries that are leading the way globally.

“The current Wack-A-Mole approach lawmakers are taking is leaving Americans vulnerable. We need a strong foundational national privacy law so the federal government can both be proactive and respond faster to emerging privacy and security threats. This is how we can put Americans back in control of their personal information.”
