STATEMENT: Rep. Khanna applauds Tim Cook’s proposal for U.S. privacy laws
Santa Clara – Today, following Tim Cook's remarks at the 40th International Conference of Data Protection & Privacy Commissioners, Rep. Ro Khanna issued the following statement:
"These are a well-crafted set of principles necessary for federal privacy law reform in the United States. I applaud Tim Cook for articulating clear and simply stated principles and leading on these issues."
At the request of Leader Nancy Pelosi, Rep. Khanna worked with Tim Berners-Lee, the founder of the World Wide Web, to release an Internet Bill of Rights which were featured in the New York Times earlier this month, and praised by Secretary Hillary Clinton in an Oxford speech. Tim Cook's principles are consistent with his proposal and a thoughtful contribution.
