This would be a violation of privacy by the government upon millions of Americans and the proposal would do more harm than good by creating higher costs that would be passed on to customers,” said Congressman Moolenaar. “It would also require more electronic information to be collected about Americans, thus making their personal information more vulnerable to cyberattacks.
