Thank you, Senator. Absolutely. Yes. The Mozilla Foundation has run campaigns over the last four to five months that have explicitly focused on this specific question, both requiring companies to be transparent about the fact of whether they are using personal data in order to train their models and after that, to ensure that users have complete control over this processing, meaning both users should be able to consent for such behavior to take place, but also that they should be able to withdraw this consent whenever they like and opt out of this processing. We believe that the risks that exist from the leakage of such private information will drastically reduce if users are given an ability to both understand what the data is being used for and then to make a choice of whether they would like it to be used in that way.
