Statement Of Commissioner Michael O'Rielly On President Signing CRA Regarding Misguided FCC Privacy Rules

I applaud President Trump and Congress for utilizing the Congressional Review Act to undo the Federal Communications Commission’s detrimental privacy rules. The parade of horribles trotted out to scare the American people about its passage are completely fictitious, especially since parts of the rules never even went into effect. Hopefully, we will soon return to a universe where thoughtful privacy protections are not overrun by shameful FCC power grabs and blatant misrepresentations.
