UNLV2001 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Your friends on the GOP side of the aisle are ..... GOP senators’ new bill would let ISPs sell your Web browsing data Senate resolution would throw out FCC's entire privacy rulemaking. epublican senators yesterday introduced legislation that would overturn new privacy rules for Internet service providers. If the Federal Communications Commission rules are eliminated, ISPs would not have to get consumers' explicit consent before selling or sharing Web browsing data and other private information with advertisers and other third parties. As expected, Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) and 23 Republican co-sponsors introduced the resolution yesterday. The measure would use lawmakers' power under the Congressional Review Act to ensure that the FCC rulemaking "shall have no force or effect." The resolution would also prevent the FCC from issuing similar regulations in the future. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2017/03/gop-senators-new-bill-would-let-isps-sell-your-web-browsing-data/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSUTOP25 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I'm sure the GOP will have plenty of bipartisan support from the neo-left authoritarian Democrats for this bill. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We, consumers, should have to opt in to information sharing like this or at the very least have an option to opt out of it. But I'm sure it'll pass with broad bipartisan support because that's what the government does. 6 Quote thelawlorfaithful, on 31 Dec 2012 - 04:01 AM, said:One of the rules I live by: never underestimate a man in a dandy looking sweater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
