Wyden introduced his bill last week in the Senate.

The FTC is currently reviewing and reviewing the proposed American Data Protection Act, which Wyden called "The Biggest Threat to Privacy in America," according to the American Civil Liberties Union.

He also has a proposal to create new guidelines on data protection that would limit Americans' ability to collect and share data from companies on how they store our data, using it to protect and promote their products, and for other purposes.

The bill also would require companies to tell the FTC that they don't use data they collect to help prevent terrorism.

This isn't the first time that the FTC has come under fire from privacy advocates. In September, the agency published a report that found that companies were using data to target innocent consumers more than once. The FTC also has been slammed for its failure to review data it collected on American citizens for years.

In his bill, Wyden calls on Congress to hold companies accountable for collecting personal information from Americans and to require companies to provide information that is "relevant" to the law.

"The Privacy Act of 1984 prohibits the collection and retention of data on Americans by a company, or a government entity," Wyden said. "This authority is not necessary for privacy, but it can be useful for protecting Americans from the use of government data collection practices that violate our civil liberties and promote the protection of our private online life."

Wyden's bill, which should be a priority for Congress, would also include a new Privacy Act that would allow companies to set up and enforce "safe spaces" to keep their data safe.

Wyden also has introduced legislation that would require privacy data to be kept private and made public only when no information is made public, like when the government is watching a citizen's phone calls or browsing the web.

Wyden plans to introduce his proposal in the Senate on Thursday. He's the ranking member of the House Intelligence and Justice committees, while ranking member of the FTC, as well as ranking member on the FTC's subcommittee on data protection.A new poll shows Donald Trump is far from alone in his criticism of the media.

After first saying that he would "never" accept libel charges against the press, Trump now tells the Washington Post that the media "should be ashamed."

"I am very proud of the Washington Post," Trump said. "It's been the greatest media in the world, you know, for the last 40 years, and they are the greatest press in the world, and
