Live updates: Twitter security flaws cause ‘real harm to real people,’ whistleblower testified

Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) delivered a blistering indictment of Congress’s track record on tech regulation, saying that lawmakers need to “be putting the mirror on ourselves” rather than focusing on the lack of action at regulatory agencies.

“Despite this probably being our 50th hearing … we have not passed one bill out of the U.S. Senate when it comes to competition, when it comes to privacy, when it comes to better funding the agencies, when it comes to the protection of kids,” she said.

She said the lack of action has created an environment where companies can do everything from damaging newspapers to failing to respond to hacking.
