Maybe it’s weird that *corporations* are recording *so much* of human activity for forever. But the act of preserving things for posterity isn’t rare! Clay tablets, the Library of Alexandria, oral histories, the list goes on. — PolitiTweet.org

Part of the show’s purpose, she said, was to get people to think about the weirdness of things being recorded forever, and how rare that is in human history. — PolitiTweet.org

There was a part of the show where they interview a playwright who’s got an actual show in DC right now about the right to be forgotten. Only in DC, lol — PolitiTweet.org

So I was just in a Lyft listening to @1a about the right to be forgotten while heading to a speech by Facebook’s CEO about the freedom of expression. Today is just coming up 100 percent tech. — PolitiTweet.org

Critically, Wyden’s bill would give consumer groups the right to sue companies for violating the law, and would *not* preempt tough state laws like California’s. This probably would be a non-starter for Republicans who control the Senate. — PolitiTweet.org

Wyden is still very unhappy about Zuckerberg and the FTC settlement, which he’s criticized as too weak. “A slap on the wrist from the FTC won’t do the job, so under my bill he’d face jail time for lying to the government,” Wyden says. — PolitiTweet.org

.@RonWyden is expected to introduce a tough privacy bill today as Mark Zuckerberg prepares to speak at Georgetown. The “Mind Your Own Business Act” would impose big fines on companies caught misusing consumer data, and potential jail time for execs who lie about it. — PolitiTweet.org

NEW: An FCC official confirms the agency has finished voting on T-Mobile/Sprint, clearing the merger along party lines. It’ll take some time to finalize the order, and a multi-state antitrust lawsuit could still torpedo the deal. But it now has Washington’s complete blessing. — PolitiTweet.org
