Social media platforms aren't going to appreciate this scrutiny.

Facebook was hoping people have forgotten how they cost Hillary the election by taking Russian money for Russian FB memes.

This will open old wounds for Mark Zuckerberg and FB.

I guess everyone is already aware that Cambridge analytical was universally celebrated by the Zerobama administration data mining operation when they used it in 2012. And only vilified and run out of business after trump used it successfully in 2016 right?

I am sure nobody in the MSM will notice the large corporate paid and in-kind support of Democrats by Facebook, Google, Amazon.

The Big Lie—that is the Democrat Party strategy in a nutshell.

Typical of libs. Commit crimes and then point fingers at others accusing them of those same crimes. Democrats/liberals are the biggest abusers of our privacy.

I’m in favor of privacy protection. I don’t believe for one second that the libs are. I don’t believe for one second that they would pass any laws to protect us. *IF* they did pass any laws, they would make sure to have exemptions for themselves so that they can continue spying and using their ill-gotten information to control and harass people.

What a winning strategy! Attack the horrible, evil Republicans running Facebook, Google, Amazon, LinkedIn, WhatsApp and all the other social outfits.

This issue is high on everybody's worry list, right up there with misspelled words on tattoos and the depletion of our national reserves of belly button lint.

I'm surprised "Climate Catastrophe" isn't their #1 pick. It's a fresh, new campaign issue that nobody has heard of yet.

"Social media platforms aren't going to appreciate this scrutiny." Not only that, the democrats are the ones collect all the personal data for use against opponents. Look at what they did to Trump. They are the people they are claiming to protect you against. Unfortunately, there are plenty of uninformed people that will believe it. Democrats should be openly mocked and ridiculed every time they mention this.

This is a joke right? The party that got hacked and exposed, who hired a Pakistani who stole from them not only devices but data as well. They are going to seize on data privacy as midterm issue?

What is scary is that they might succeed in promoting themselves the champions of privacy, just as they have succeeded in labeling the Republican Party as populated with nothing but racists, when it was their party that was & still is the racist party. While the truth is they have been in the forefront of removing privacy as a hallmark of freedom. Though I must admit RINO's have been working along side their opposition party cohorts, instead of offering opposition.

So the Dims are going to save us from evil social media companies who are misusing personal data they mined from trusting users, basically spying on thought-to-be private conversations allegedly to pimp some product. Facebook, Twitter, et al, are run by Dims, are they not? Pound sand, Democrats. Your time is up.

Tech policy typically ranks low on an average voter’s list of priorities...

I would imagine. Most people are just trying to make ends meet. I don't think they're too concerned about a ULA agreement on their Blu-Ray player.

The leftists are so tied into social media, data mining, and government control I don't see how they can approach this from the other side. If they try to make this an issue it is only going to showcase them as the bad actors here.

...

Oh, wait, what am I thinking. They'll simply lie their a**es off, accuse the right of everything they are actually doing, and their MSM lapdogs will conveniently ignore the leftists' participation in these things.

Data protection via govt? How ‘bout just keep govt OUT of that loop to begin.

The rest is voluntary; sure, it takes some give/take, but there’s way to do it if you really want (public computers, borrow, etc.)
