Markey (D-Mass.) and Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), mandates that the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) establish and maintain privacy protections for customers of \u201cedge providers\u201d like Facebook and Google.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cAmerica deserves a privacy bill of rights that puts consumers, not corporations, in control of their personal, sensitive information,\u201d said Sen. Markey in a statement. \u201cThe avalanche of privacy violations by Facebook and other online companies has reached a critical threshold, and we need legislation that makes consent the law of the land.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Specifically, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.markey.senate.gov\/news\/press-releases\/as-facebook-ceo-zuckerberg-testifies-to-congress-senators-markey-and-blumenthal-introduce-privacy-bill-of-rights\">CONSENT Act<\/a> would force edge providers to \u201cobtain opt-in consent from a customer to use, share, or sell the sensitive proprietary information of the customer,\u201d and they would not be allowed to bar users from services for refusing to agree to the opt-in provisions.<\/p>\n<p>Protected data would include a broad swath of content, including personal information, information about family members, health information, Social Security numbers and financial information, geolocation data, communications data and call details, browsing and application usage history, and any other personal information the FTC classifies as sensitive.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, providers would be required to inform users about any collection, use, or sharing of their personal information.<\/p>\n<p>The timing of the bill\u2019s introduction \u2014 April 10 \u2014 was scheduled to correlate with Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg\u2019s Capitol Hill testimony on the social media conglomerate\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/blog\/facebook-cambridge-analytica-everyone-looking-wrong-way\/\">numerous abuses of user privacy<\/a>, the latest of which being that it shared the private data of 87 million Facebook users with a political consulting firm.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cOur privacy bill of rights is built on a simple philosophy that will return autonomy to consumers: affirmative informed consent,\u201d said Sen. Blumenthal. \u201cConsumers deserve the opportunity to opt in to services that might mine and sell their data \u2013 not to find out their personal information has been exploited years later.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>As <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/tech-policy\/2018\/04\/facebook-would-need-your-consent-before-sharing-your-data-under-proposed-law\/\">Ars Technica<\/a> notes, the CONSENT Act in its present form would place stricter rules on edge providers than those to which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/blog\/isps-greater-threat-online-privacy-facebook-google-nsa-survey\/\">internet service providers<\/a> (ISPs) themselves must submit currently submit.
