Washington, D.C. - Energy and Commerce Ranking Member Frank Pallone, Jr. (D-NJ) today released the following statement in response to a request to the House and Senate bipartisan leadership asking that they use Congressional Review Act (CRA) Authority to rescind the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Privacy Rules.
“It’s clear that privacy critics feel emboldened to push for the elimination of privacy protections for American consumers, no matter the platform. This demand to gut the Federal Communications Commission is only the latest move and comes after ongoing attempts to hamstring the Federal Trade Commission. Consumers should not have to worry about their financial, medical and other personal information begin shared without their permission. I will continue to vigorously fight against these combined efforts to harm consumers and take away their privacy and data security."
