Here is the letter. https://www.blumenthal.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/5.6.19_Letter%20to%20FTC%20re%20Facebook.pdf https://www.blumenthal.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/5.6.19_Lette... The proposal from these two senators seems reasonable: "The FTC should propose long-term limits on Facebook's collection and use of personal information. It should consider setting rules of the road on what Facebook can do with consumers' private information, such as requiring the deletion of tracking data, restricting the collection of certain types of information, curbing advertising practices, and imposing a firewall on sharing private data between different products, including Facebook's ad platform." Placing hard limits on data collection and usage seems clearer and more workable than requiring "user consent" as we saw in the last consent decree. Sen. Blumenthal's office seems to be one of the few that is willing to call BS on the type of shenanigans often discussed here on HN. https://www.blumenthal.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/01.31.2018%20Letter%20to%20FTC%20re%20Devumi%20and%20Fake%20Followers.pdf https://www.blumenthal.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/01.31.2018%2...
