Washington, D.C.-Energy and Commerce Committee Ranking Member Frank Pallone, Jr. offered the following statement in response to Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Ajit Pai's announcement that he is seeking a stay on some of the FCC's broadband privacy protections:
“Chairman Pai’s announcement lands another blow to consumers on behalf of the Trump Administration. The American people have been clear: they want more protections for their data, not fewer. We must ensure consumers’ private information is protected, no matter where they go on the internet or how they connect."
