III. Let the people sue

ACCESS has incredibly stiff penalties for companies that violate it - but these can only be invoked by the FTC. To be fair, the FTC is enjoying a renaissance, with the amazing Lina Khan at its helm, but what about the *next* FTC?

We think this bill needs a "private right of action" - that is, the right of regular internet users to sue tech companies that break the law, whether on their own, in class action suits, or through public-interest law-firms like EFF.
