In a stunning display of government overreach, the latest bill is giving citizens the ability to sue companies for supposed violations of their privacy rights. This is just another example of liberals trying to tip the scales of justice in favor of frivolous lawsuits and big government intrusion into the free market. The bill is nothing more than a gift to trial lawyers and a punishment for businesses trying to innovate and create jobs.
New Bipartisan Data Privacy Bill Seeks to Put Americans in ‘Control of Their Own Data’ https://t.co/h5lynC8IAO

The bill is rife with opportunities for abuse, as it empowers individuals to take legal action against companies over the most minor infractions. This will only serve to clog up our already overburdened court system and drive up the costs of doing business. Instead of fostering an environment of growth and entrepreneurship, this bill sets the stage for a litigious free-for-all that will ultimately hurt consumers and stifle economic progress.
The government should not be in the business of picking winners and losers in the marketplace, but that’s exactly what this bill aims to do. By giving individuals the green light to sue companies over alleged privacy violations, the government is creating an atmosphere of fear and uncertainty for businesses large and small. This is a direct assault on the principles of free enterprise and personal responsibility that have made this country great.
It’s clear that this bill is nothing more than a veiled attempt to expand government control over the private sector. Instead of promoting responsible consumer behavior and a healthy respect for property rights, it places undue burdens on companies and opens the floodgates for a tidal wave of baseless lawsuits. Conservatives must stand firm against this assault on individual freedom and push back against the nanny state mentality that seeks to undermine our cherished American values.
