Pallone on New Report on Data Brokers Selling Information on U.S. Military Personnel

Energy and Commerce Committee Ranking Member Frank Pallone, Jr. (D-NJ) released the following statement today on the release of a new report detailing data brokers selling data on U.S. military personnel:

“These findings are yet another terrible example of the harms posed by the data broker industry and underscore the need to pass comprehensive national privacy legislation and regulate data brokers.

“Congress needs to pass legislation that minimizes the amount of information that can be collected on Americans, cracks down on the abuses of data brokers, and provides consumers with the tools they need to protect their information.”
