i think the ftc is important. we have strong rules by the fcc that were blown up, but i still think there could be opportunity down the line. i do think it is still important for people to be negotiating and talking to companies. i know we have, for the past four years, been speaking to a lot of silicon valley companies. there are groups that we work with that are organizing workers and, which is also important because i think it is the workers in the company that are speaking out or speaking to power that they moved changes. unfortunately, what i think has to happen is that they get their hands caught in the cookie jar. with silicon valley, you have this rise of the celebrity ceo, like the mark zuckerbergs, those that are highly sensitive about their brand. so when things are publicly coming, that is when we see some level of intervention. but it is probably not super sustainable. kathryn: senator markey called the people in this room for justice, the justice league, something like that. so a big agenda in terms

standards and enforcement are centralized at the ftc. it starts with the simple question, do you all believe we need some kind of federal legislation to take place so we have some kind of privacy standard for consumers? let's start with 23. >> yes, we support comprehensive federal legislation. we think it is important to support. >> we, too, and google support legislation. >> like google, we support federal legislation. >> when mr. zuckerberg was here, i asked him about this idea of a 72 hour notification after a breach. is there anyone that favors that? he said that it could make sense. no one favors that. i am going to take that as a no. then, the other piece of the legislation makes for simple language. so many of these privacy policies on your sites are very difficult to understand. our bill requires that online platforms make plain language disclosures regarding how personal data will be collected and used. do you think that would make sense to do something like that? >> in connection with our privacy policy, we take pride in the fa

under the organic authority of the ftc act. it prohibits in the statute reads unfair or deceptive acts or cracked essays. basically the ftc can bring an enforcement action if a company lies. do you support providing the ftc with more legal authority and better tools to protect consumer privacy. the >> senator, i start by saying we don't support unfettered discretion in any agency. we believe it's congress' job to give direction and set up the guard rails. but if congress were to do that as i indicated earlier, would support working with the committee and finding the proper tools for the ftc to do its job in newest job effectively. >> thank you, senator. with all of these issues to think about what benefits customers and the core principles of ensuring they understand how their data is being used to think of the products and services they use their data carefully and sensibly in line with their expectations. the ftc does have authority now to get a violation of the principles and we welcome the opportunity to work with congress

there is a dual role where we can work with the ftc and ag's. i know there are cases where the ftc may take and may not take that are necessary for individual states to address that want to be addressed if we just leave it to the federal authority. i also know there is an opportunity for both to work together. the one thing i would caution is isowever, is that not all ag are the same and their authorities are not the same. the attorney general and california has regulatory-making authority. the ag in nevada does not. as we go down this path, we have to understand that enforcement piece of it, but i agree. and i think think there is a role for us to work together. my time is up, but i have further questions on this piece of enforcement and how you think there is this dual role, and still not over enforcement or overregulation of the companies so they can still be free to innovate and be successful in their businesses. thank you. sen. thune: thank you. senator young. sen. young: thank you, chairman. i want to thank the panelists for being here tod

should that be covered under those ftc fines or regulations? could you comment on that? ms. moy: and our proposals that we are working on with a number of your staff, we are particular concerned about secondary uses or extraneous uses of the data collected for one purpose and then used by the same country for another purpose, particularly if that data is sensitive. ms. o'connor: we are obviously concerned about third-party transfers that were unexpected to the individual consumer. you're so right to make the point that this is a larger ecosystem. it's not only about technology companies or telecom companies. data is flowing on and off-line through traditional companies and tech companies. our phrase is everybody is in the pool. it's about the law of the individual of their rights and their data no matter where it flows in the ecosystem. ms. moy: i just want to clarify that i think both approaches are ultimately necessary. both baseline privacy that is based on a place of principles as well as increased authority for an expert agency in the form of rulemaking, civil penalty a

-- authority complement the ftc? ms. moy: state attorneys general, they do a number of very important things. a couple i would like to highlight is that a attorney general can take action if they are dealing with small cases that may not rise to the size or the number of consumers affected that would trigger enforcement action on the part of a federal agency. the federal trade commission does a lot of work on data security right now, but it only has a staff of i think around 1100 people. there are thousands of breaches that take place at a small level that may only affect hundreds of consumers at the state level. state attorneys general are doing really good work there. state attorneys general are also doing great work consulting with businesses and stakeholders in their communities to try to provide the necessary guidance that companies need to understand what their obligations are and that consumers need to understand what their protections are. sen. klobuchar: i had a question for you, but there is a glass ceiling and

and the ftc is the cop on the beat. but i am concerned. >> and a good percentage of american consumers but that is what drives us to take a hard look at this. and then to get the comments back. but the average american who tells us what they should to impact them. >> you mentioned internet governance a little earlier but now there is an international body monitoring? >> the nonprofit at least in california. and maintaining that domain nam name. and then with that ip address. things are going well. a couple of other letters we had to send ensure that the community with that process. the multi- stakeholder is well-designed but when you have a group that big and then to send some letters of the abuses or what is required under the bylaws but then largely that is exactly what it was before. but then to make sure the system. >> the assistant commerce secretary and administrator of the national telecommunications and the executive senior editor thank you.

the ftc, i think we can say that they punted but they have no rule making authority in a lot of thesetexts, they don't have the money to hire good staff, so they had this consent decree and google and facebook and they didn't have the staff to following up. >> you're thinking of the concept of an agency. >> nancy pelosi brought this up. >> an agency that would -- what do you think of that? the internet -- not the agency, because the russian one that screwed us -- >> i think very plag matically it's -- pragmatically it's difficult to try to regulate the internet companies and largely because, you know, there's a certain level of expertise that needs to be developed certainly in washington and i think you can attract people and what not to a certain agency like that, but they touch upon very fundamental truths with respect to our constitution. it's sort of like let's just rewind almost 60 or 70 years, and you're sort of in a situation now where the platforms by which, you know, people receive information and news and content or facebook or a radio or cable company, whatever it is, now y
