A group of Democratic senators on Thursday introduced a resolution calling on internet companies to expand their new GDPR changes to cover American users. And a coalition of consumer groups sent a letter to some of the biggest data collectors calling for the same thing.

“When the European privacy law takes effect, the American people are going to wonder why they are getting second-class privacy protections,” Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) said in a statement. “If companies can afford to protect Europeans’ privacy, they can also afford to do so for their American customers and users.”
