Press Release: CDT Welcomes Bipartisan Federal Privacy Legislation Proposal

The Center for Democracy & Technology (CDT) welcomes the bipartisan discussion draft privacy legislation announced today by U.S. Reps. Frank Pallone (D-NJ-6), Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA-5) and U.S. Senator Roger Wicker (R-MS).

Alexandra Reeve Givens, CEO and President of CDT, says:

“This draft shows that there is a bipartisan path forward on long-overdue legislation to protect consumers’ privacy. Americans want and desperately need legislation to protect their personal data and promote trust in the online world. While it’s not perfect, the draft is a hopeful first step. We urge Congress to move forward with the legislative process and pass legislation by the end of this year.
