Tom Temin It sounds like there could be some fresh rulemaking at the end of the task force, or is there an end point to the task force?

Loyaan Egal I feel like this is a what you would call recession proof industry. Unfortunately just there’s the old adage from a from a famous bank robber named Willie Sutton back in the 1930s, who was reportedly asked why did he rob banks? And he said, because that’s where the money is. Fast forward 90 years later why are telecommunications and communications services companies high value targets? Because that’s where the data it. And so I think we’re going to continue to to to be working towards addressing that from a regulatory standpoint and an enforcement step.

Tom Temin And is this entirely an FCC affair or do you have other federal state agencies you might be working with that have impinging on this whole topic?

Loyaan Egal Yeah, we’re working we’re using the model that we use for the work that we’ve done on robocalls and robo text, where we entered into a number of memorandums of understanding with state attorney generals across the United States. And we’re going to use that same model for the Privacy and Data Protection Task Force. We’re going to work with partners at the state attorneys general offices throughout the country to bring forth a state federal approach. We’re also working with international partners, other regulators overseas who regulate these industries to understand what they’re seeing and best practices. So, again, federal, state, local, international, we’re hoping to work across the board.
