Joe Lieberman: Maryland’s lessons for DC – this is what working for the common good looks like

Fla. Rep. Fiona McFarland: Protecting privacy online – Florida taking this step to safeguard consumers
close Video Florida governor attempts to spearhead crackdown against Big Tech Ron DeSantis joins 'The Ingraham Angle' to discuss his attempts to counter Big Tech censorship We live in the digital information age , and there is a tug of war over who owns your data – you or the online businesses that demand it and use it. Fortunately, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Speaker of the House Chris Sprowls have stepped forward to address this – what I believe is one of our most pressing problems. This week, with their encouragement, I introduced a ground-breaking Consumer Data Privacy bill in the Florida House of Representatives that will put the ownership of personal data back into the hands of individual Floridians, while at the same time allowing big tech and businesses to access our information – as long as we give them permission.
