Transcripts For CSPAN The Communicators Sen. Marsha Blackbur

Cspan is brought to you by your local cable or satellite provider. Cspan, your unfiltered view of government. Joining us this week on the communicators is senator marsha blackburn, a member of the commerce and science subcommittee on communications and technology. Senator blackburn appeared often on this program as a member of the house but this is her first appearance as a senator. Welcome back. I wanted to ask you about some of the issues you work on in the house when it comes to technology. Were you able to bring that over to the senate, such as data privacy and things like that . Sen. Blackburn indeed. Visited think we last when i was finishing work on the raybons act. Fcc,eauthorization of the sincehad not been done 1990. Some of those components that items ine foundational our internet ecosystem. Getting those provisions finished was important and expertise to the senate where we are dealing with the privacy and Data Security issues not only of commerce but also judiciary committee. One thing i have found so interesting about being in the senate is how you take one issue set and you work crossplatform on it. I am also on the Armed Services committee and the veterans veterans, we at are working to get everybodys records in the cloud. We are doing the same thing at Armed Services so that we can have someone enlist for the rest of their life, their records are cloudbased. As they need medical care or if they want to track what exposures they may have had, things hazardous toxins, of that nature, the veteran will own those records and this will and the laborious process that is so frustrating to so many of our nations veterans where they are having to go to places they were stationed or posted or places they were deployed and try to rebuild their record. It takes a lot of time and a lot of wasted energy goes there. At Armed Services, i am working on future threats, technology and 5g and Artificial Intelligence and Autonomous Vehicles and supercomputing and hypersonic and our Technology Sector really underpins the innovation that is taking place around 21st century warfare. Joining us to delve into these issues is steven from politico. The announcement from House Democrats that they would pursue impeachment proceedings against president trump. I am curious what you make of that decision and do you have any concerns that might stunt issues ound policy momentum around policy issues . Sen. Blackburn i would love to see them focusing on issues that Americans Care about. On of the things we learned from the 2018 election cycle is that voters, especially women, want to see things done. I do not like occurring. They do not like bickering. I kind of call them the security moms. Whons focused women are focused on keeping their children safe. Job security, income security, they want to make certain their elderly parents are well cared for. They want to make certain this nation is secure, securing the southern border. Overreachis may be an by our friends in the house. We all know that we should have expected they would try another impeachment process. Yesterday, when i was on the floor of the house speaking, i talked about 2016 and vanity fair magazine in december 2016 had an article that talked about the democrats push to impeach president trump. He was not even sworn in yet. And hehe was sworn in was still president elect trump, the Senate Democrats had started writing a bill that they felt like would be the way to get him and it would be looking for areas where there would be conflicts in his business interests and conflicts with his service as president of our nation. This is something they have been trying thens he was sworn in. Since before he was sworn in. They tried in 2018. It failed. They thought the Mueller Report was going to be exactly what they needed. It was not. That effort failed. They tried earlier in 20 to get an impeachment vote. They tried earlier in 2019 to get an impeachment vote. I think they were surprised when they read the transcript of the phone call. You talked about hitting things done. You talked about the tech task force you are leading in the senate. What are you learning in those meetings . Sen. Blackburn one of the things i am learning is that we have finally arrived in a position where people are saying, we need some privacy and a Security Guard rails on in law. It is time to get something on the books. That is very encouraging to me. Filed i know, i have worked to get a privacy standard. I believe we need one set of rules for the entire internet ecosystem with one regulator. I think individuals should have the right to opt in, get there explicit consent if they want to share their private or Sensitive Data and opt out if they do not irnt the platform sharing the nonSensitive Data. I do not think platform should be able to boot them off the platforms if they say, i am exercising my right to privacy. Is there arerning many an industry that share that view. Foundationaluch privacy standard, as simple as i have just laid it out, that is something that is a good thing to have. Basic federal standard. If you want to increase it through the Financial Service sector, you have something to build on. That would give the opportunity if you want to increase it a, which needs to be modernized so it accommodates the Digital Imaging and some of those newer arrivals into the marketplace, you have a basic privacy standard. That is what we are hearing. On Data Security, what we have would likeat people to see a federal standard that exercises preemption. So that when there is a data breach, people are notified within a prompt and given period of time. Abilityhe fcc with the to level penalties and having enforcement capabilities. When it comes to censorship and prioritization, we have heard from some of the smaller or newer Start Companies how the Big Tech Companies are really pushing them out of the marketplace. Withample of this would be yelp, where their rating system, they were being pushed aside and google was preference seeing their own rating system. We have also heard from companies that do not advertise on google or one of the search engines. When you do a search, run a google search, for their company, they are way down at the bottom and you have people that are advertising with google that are referenced in at the top. And at the top. People would like to be would like that to be more organic. Lookinglso going to be at antitrust and competition and look forward i think that is something we will get into early next year. Last week, we had a session on data portability to look at who owns your data and if you have the right to move that data to transport that data from one platform to another platform. Tried i do not mean to be but there seems to be some political tripe but there seems to be i dont mean to be trite but there seems to be some political backlash against there seems to be a tech clash. Sen. Blackburn they have become a monopoly. You are seeing a push for more transparency in their operations, more transparency into how they develop their algorithms and insight into how they go about exercising their preferences as people are on these plot arms. On these platforms. One thing we have heard a good it about, if these Tech Companies say we are the new modern day town square, we are the public forum, why is there not a cop on the beat . That is making certain that they are rooting out terrorist activity or some of these videos you will see or hear about online. People expect that accountability from these platforms. Likewise, some of the social media platforms that are beginning to distribute news and have a newsfeed, individuals want to see them have a news onector so they are passing news that has been curated and not passing on rumors or innuendo. Topics,couple of those including antitrust, you mentioned some smaller firms, we have seen state attorneys general as well as the Justice Department launch antitrust probe, what do you make of those effort . Sen. Blackburn what you are seeing with these states attorneys general launching a probe into google and eight ,tates into facebook, this is in my opinion, frustration by the consumers and the citizens in those states. Small businesses that feel as if they are being booted off these platforms and cannot draw people to their websites. Or their facebook is not being pushed forward or limited in boosting a post. This is why you have the state going after them. Thealso why you are seeing states go after facebook in this regard. It does not surprise me. Is as ifhey feel it they have the right to move forward. They are bolstered a little bit and doj havecc been looking at the social media platforms. Facebook just paid a 5 billion fine. Peter do you share some of these frustrations . Sen. Blackburn of course, i do. Everyone does. I am one of those individuals that was censored by twitter when i was in my senate campaign. They took down a video that i had put up, would not let us boost it. The reason, they felt like it was inappropriate speech or inflammatory rhetoric. I was talking about prolife. I was talking about leading the select committee over in the house. Nothing inflammatory about protecting life. Peter from a conservative point of view, you feel that you have been censored . Sen. Blackburn indeed, i was, yes. Have you seen evidence that that is a systemic issue . Sen. Blackburn we have so much evidence from individuals and from Smaller Companies about being pushed aside or disadvantaged by large social media outlets. If they are the public forum, if they are an information source, we want to make certain it is a fair and level playing field. I know you participated earlier this year on the white house for on social media bias. What movement have you seen from the white house on this . Sen. Blackburn the white house has been very good on this issue. I appreciate the fact that they are moving slowly but very intentionally. They are working with us. The task to the tech task force is allowing us to do a good educational deep dive on this, to meet with some of these privacy officers and leadership of some of these tech platforms and hear firsthand from them what works and what does not work. Ring from state stakeholders and advocacy groups is how we will make certain we do this right the first time. What we do know is the american r. Nsumer does not want gdp eu, thee and the heavyhanded approach, you have seen some companies actually come out of their marketplace because of the cost of compliance and because of the intrusion into their compliance systems. We also know u. S. Based companies that are looking at california are very hesitant when they are looking at the California Law that would go on the books next year. They are very hesitant to do any expansion or they are yet to make a decision if they are going to stay into that marketplace. We do not want to disadvantage innovation and we do not want to disadvantage the u. S. Consumer. Peter did you have a chance to meet with Mark Zuckerberg . Sen. Blackburn i have talked with them before and i did not meet with him when he was here last week. I am delighted that we are beginning to see some of these tech leaders come to the hill. I will spend some time in the near future out in the Silicon Valley doing a series of meetings and have a little better insight into the back bone of some of these platforms and the way their algorithms are developed. Meeting hopefully with some of their engineers and developers and the application of those algorithms on their sites. Securitys election part of the task forces sen. Blackburn we are not looking at election security. That is not something in the directive we were given when we started the task force. Election security, after the 2016 election, is something we have looked at. We have had hearings on it at commerce, we have touched on it at Armed Services. For decades, our enemies have tried to thwart or to wiggle their way into influencing u. S. Policy. This is not something new. I remember being a kid and hearing about what the russians wanted to do to us. And the way they were trying to tear us down from within. Internet,dvent of the it just makes sense that those who do not wish us well are going to gravitate to that platform and try to use that to their advantage. Indeed, they did try. What we do know is that in 2016, they were not into any Voting System in any county or precinct in this country. They did not change one single vote. We do know that they have continued their campaign to influence, try to influence elections, try to influence policy. Look at some of the information that came out about vaccines and it was traced back to russian websites. We should be working as a team with our government, with some of these Internet Service providers, and we have these bad and haved bots launched these websites and facebook pages, lets get them taken down. I want to ask your opinion on whether the fcc should have more speech. T on political sen. Blackburn as we have talked about the issue of privacy, what individuals have said is lets have one regulator. That regulator has traditionally been the federal trade commission. People feel we should have one regulator. We have also, when it comes to political speech, we do not want to abridge anyones First Amendment rights, their right to free speech. I may not agree with someone says but i will certainly speak up and protect their right to have their say and i think it is important to do that. Peter when it comes to something sen. Blackburn that is let me saynow it like this. That is something that is anding out harmful speech that is one of these areas where an isp would be well served to review that and review the information. What changes would you like to see to section 230 of the Communications Decency act which shields some of these Internet Companies . Sen. Blackburn section 230 has been there to actually serve as a safe harbor, as you very well know. What we want to do is protect weprovisions for new do not want to do away with it and make it impossible for new entrants to come into compliance or have it be something that keeps them from trying to enter the marketplace. I think that at this point, we would be well served to have a review and a discussion of 230, maybe a hearing and what the update should be around it as the internet has matured. Do you think Large Companies should have those 230 protections . Sen. Blackburn they should be part of a larger discussion. I think it is time for us to do that. As part of the discussion, do you think lawmakers should look at carveouts to 230 on issues like Child Exploitation or violent extremism . Sen. Blackburn right. We had a hearing last week on continue tod we look at how you deal with extremism, how you deal with some of the violent content that trafficking the sex that is taking place. , several years ago, i led the push to get backpage off the google search. This is one of the things that needs to happen to protect women and children and to thwart the sex trade and to prohibit them from using online to market these women and children. Several years ago, we worked with the Online Gaming industry and made certain they began to do ratings so you would have content that was ageappropriate. In our looked at this task force and will continue to do so. When you look at some of the or some of these that , pardonople get into me, and pedophiles have begun use those apps. They are tracking children online. Certainly, having some ratings and awareness so that parents realize what is going on and making certain that children are protected and their information is not being made public and it is not going to someone who would do them harm. Peter you started this interview talking about some of the foundational issues you have worked on. One of those is access to spectrum and it looks like the is getting closer to closer. Sen. Blackburn spectrum, we have a shortage of spectrum. As we are looking at the utilization, whether it is in the commercial, government or military sectors, what we do know is that we will need more mid band spectrum. 5g is getting ready for deployment. It will be vital for our u. S. Military. The First Military post that is going to be completely 5g compliant is going to be arnold air in tennessee and this is where some of the Autonomous Vehicles are being tested. That will be used with the u. S. Military. We are very excited about that. All of this Artificial Intelligence and Autonomous Vehicles, the internet of everything, the evolution of looking at military, different yousions of the military, may have somebody from the army, somebody from the marines, somebody from the navy all in one unit. Interoperability will be important. Recouping spectrum so that we build out a network on the commercial side and the military interoperable be is going to be vitally important. The mid band is something that ughtighly so e area that we can begin to build out some of these networks, also closing the Digital Divide and beginning to use five and 60 wireless to close the Digital Divide. The strength of that signal. Runlength that signal can will help us if we try to close the Digital Divide in rural areas. It will help us with the inloyment of health care underserved areas. Huawei is involved in 5g development. Sen. Blackburn i have voted for ind supported blocking huawe from further deployment in this country and i would like to see some embede do know is they malware. We know they are trying to build their spy Data Security<\/a> issues not only of commerce but also judiciary committee. One thing i have found so interesting about being in the senate is how you take one issue set and you work crossplatform on it.

Huawei is involved in 5g development. Sen. Blackburn i have voted for ind supported blocking huawe from further deployment in this country and i would like to see some embede do know is they malware. We know they are trying to build their spy Network Using<\/a> this. Doalso know in china, you not know where the commercial sector and the military sector begin and end. Awei is aally hu state owned company. Huawei are making enormous plays around the globe and trying to embed their equipment. People will say, it is so affordable. Of course it is going to be affordable, this is their spy network. This is why the u. S. Military and Diplomatic Missions<\/a> have been very precise saying we cannot transmit Sensitive Data<\/a> ei network. We spoke about privacy. A group of your colleagues have spoken about privacy. Are you disappointed we have not seen the federal privacy bill released . What does the timeline look like . I am disappointed. It was seven years ago. The browser act has been there for three years. We do have a basic standard bill. I think it would be important for us to move forward and put the basic privacy standard on the books. You have the opportunity to do that. The American Consumer<\/a> deserve have a basic privacy standard. They need to know their right to privacy is going to be protected in the virtual space. Thank you, senator marsha blackburn.
