Yankton, SD (WNAX) – South Dakota Senator John Thune used a meeting of his Subcommittee on Communications, Technology, Innovation and the Internet to provide more information on how websites exploit data from their users.

Thune says most website users have no idea how their surfing data is used.

Thune says Congress has a role to play in regulating use of consumers information.

Thune says websites have to be more transparent in their interactions with their consumers.
