To accommodate a 21st-century workforce, we need to make sure we have 21st-century infrastructure

To accommodate a 21st-century workforce, we need to make sure we have 21st-century infrastructure. No serious infrastructure plan is complete without addressing broadband expansion. There is strong bipartisan support for including broadband funding in any infrastructure package, and that's good news. As we expand access to broadband, we must also do more to protect people's data online. Going into the new Congress, I will continue to push for privacy protections like those in my bipartisan bill with Sen John Kennedy (R-LA), which requires tech companies like Google and Facebook to use plain language when explaining how consumer data will be used while also allowing people to opt out of having their data collected altogether. And if there's a security breach, it would require these companies to tell all consumers within 72 hours and provide those affected with solutions to protect them from identity theft.
