Rep. Suzan DelBene said in a statement sent by her office that the law has not kept up with technology, leaving Americans' personal information open to unregulated collection and abuse by companies and government.

“We need regulations that ensure these tools are used in a clear, transparent way and that violations or misuse come with accountability.”
