It's Time to Protect Consumers Online

[Commentary] The online privacy debate belongs in the halls of Congress, with Republicans and Democrats forging a consensus on how best to protect and empower consumers. I know members on both sides genuinely share concerns about protecting Americans' privacy. The BROWSER Act's opt-in regime will give consumers greater control over how their sensitive personal information is shared and establish regulatory consistency by treating Internet service providers and "edge" providers the same. Having two cops on the beat enforcing different sets of rules isn't fair to anybody and will lead to less certainty when it comes to protecting the privacy of Americans.
