A patchwork of federal and state regulators is increasingly putting
pressure on technology companies and other companies that collect, use and
share large consumer data sets, claiming they have sufficient authority to
regulate some of the potential privacy and data security risks posed by
“big data” and “connected devices.” Their focus is on the estimated six
billion devices in use today with embedded sensors and connectivity to the
Internet, known as the Internet of Things (IoT). These devices transmit
sensitive personal data, often using unencrypted networks, to cloud
computing platforms, where the data may be aggregated and sold for
commercial purposes.

"The problems of our economy have occurred not as an outgrowth of
laissez-faire, unbridled competition.
They have occurred under the guidance of federal agencies, and under the
umbrella of federal regulations."
Senator Ted Kennedy, in defending trucking deregulation in 1978.
