Needs to happen at federal level.

110% agree.

We need national privacy legislation with teeth. Companies will collect our data whether we like it or not, they need to be held accountable and pay the price when they violate the trust and privacy of their users.

This will happen as soon as the state gets un-gerrymandered.
