Marsha Blackburn: Use Data Privacy to Crack Down on Big Tech

Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) said Wednesday that Congress needs to pass data privacy legislation to encourage more competition in the technology markets.

Sen. Blackburn, who leads the Senate Judiciary Committee’s tech task force, wants to use her position to hold Silicon Valley accountable by pushing for data privacy legislation.

“I think what you’re going to see us do in the Senate is a more steady, incremental approach,” Blackburn told the Washington Post.

Blackburn announced her tech task force during the White House’s social media summit, saying that she will study issues regarding privacy, data security, and competition.
