U.S. Rep. Ro Khanna, D-California, unveiled his plans for an Internet Bill of Rights earlier this month and introduced his basic principles for his proposed legislation. But lawyers that spoke to Legaltech News said Khanna’s principles were just that, a framework, and time would tell if those principles would become legislation.

In an Oct. 4 op-ed featured in The New York Times, Khanna listed 10 principles for his proposed Internet Bill of Rights. The list included providing citizens with access to all the personal data companies have collected about them; opt-in consent for the collection and sharing of their personal data; and allowing, when “context [is] appropriate and with a fair process,” individuals to obtain, correct or delete personal data held by a company.
