Cyberscoop reports privacy advocates are concerned with provisions for telecommunications data oversight in the proposed American Data Privacy and Protection Act. The current proposal strips the U.S. Federal Communications Commission of its ability to enforce privacy rules, leaving telecom companies to potentially benefit from a new enforcement regime under the Federal Trade Commission. "The problem with the Federal Trade Commission is it has fewer tools that it can use to enforce the rule and it has a lot more ground to cover," Public Knowledge Senior Vice President Harold Feld said.
