“It is time to move forward with the Consumer Privacy Bill of Rights through legislation,” wrotenRep. Hank Johnson, D-Ga., in a Thursday letter to the White House (http://bit.ly/1cexDaf). The HousenJudiciary Committee member had introduced a mobile privacy bill, the Application, Privacy, Protectionnand Security (APPS) Act. He encouraged the White House to consider his bill “as a foundation for protectingnconsumers’ privacy on mobile devices.” The APPS Act was developed with public input, andnwould codify the NTIA's mobile privacy guidelines developed with industry stakeholders, developers andnpublic interest groups, he said. Johnson asked the White House to follow a similar process with its consumernprivacy bill. He also encouraged the White House to “equip the FTC with the tools to operationalizenthe requirements and prohibitions created through a stakeholder-driven process.”
