House panel cancels review of data privacy legislation amid leadership concerns

House Energy and Commerce Committee Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash., leads the panel during an organizational meeting for the 118th Congress, at the Capitol in Washington, Tuesday, Jan. 31, 2023. The House Energy and Commerce Committee canceled a planned markup of 11 bills on Thursday, including federal online privacy legislation that has met with major pushback from the chamber’s Republican leadership.

“The American people are asking Congress to step up and pass a privacy bill. It is foundational to our future and the next generation,” the Washington Republican said in a statement.Among the legislation previously scheduled to be considered were the American Privacy Rights Act of 2024 and the Kids Online Safety Act.

The Kids Online Safety Act seeks to create a “duty of care” compelling social media platforms to mitigate risks of harm to children. Previous versions of the bill have failed to be passed by Congress in recent years. “For every parent, for individual liberty, and for the future of this country, we will continue our pursuit to give Americans privacy rights online,” she said.
