CFA Supports FCC's Proposed Rules to Safeguard and Secure the Open Internet
Consumer Federation of America joined the Electronic Privacy Information Center, Public Knowledge, and the Demand Progress Education Fund in comments to the Federal Communications Commission's proposed rule on “Safeguarding and Securing the Open Internet.” The groups applauded the agency's efforts to protect consumer data from misuse by applying Title II of the Communications Act to broadband services. This would enable the creation of stronger safeguards for consumers’ personal information—included but not limited to customer proprietary network information (CPNI)—and support regulatory action to combat unjust and unreasonable practices online.
