If reports are true, then Ajit Pai has failed to protect consumers at every turn. This issue came to light after my office and dedicated journalists discovered how wireless carriers shared Americans’ locations without consent. He investigated only after public pressure mounted.

Pai's response is laughable, and won’t stop companies from abusing Americans’ privacy the next time they can make a profit. From Facebook to Equifax, companies have shown nothing but contempt for consumer data, knowing they can write off fines as the cost of doing business.
