House Republicans give cable companies the right to sell your browsing history.

Republicans are on the loose. They were able to pass a bill!!! Giving cable companies the right to sell your browsing history data. As you would guess this is a measure that has ZERO public support and is a gross violation of privacy.

Just imagine how many porn sites Republicans are going to sift thru before they determine we aren't ever going to buy any of their bullshit.

Jokes on them. Tor Browser. No cookies. No pop-ups. No browser history. Always in private mode. Always from an alternative IP host.

Looks like Trumps White House commented yesterday saying Dirty Donald plans to sign the measure into law.

"House Republicans...." did the bill bypass the Senate? I thought both had to vote on bills?

This is a terrible assault on our right. What the hell were Republicans thinking? Out of everything they could have focused on they pick this!

Yup, so much for liberty and privacy in the world of fascist corrupt authoritarianism. Republicans need to show corporations whose side their on to keep the checks coming.

1. This FCC ruling applied ONLY to ISP and Telecommunications providers. It did not apply to technology companies in general. So Facebook, YouTube, Google, Microsoft, Snapchat, Yahoo, AOL, gmail, hotmail, etc. etc. etc. remained unaffected by the FCC Regulation.
2. There is NO CHANGE in the previous or current regulatory environment. NOTHING has changed. The FCC proposed rules WERE NOT IN EFFECT. No date certain as to when they would have been.

So as you can see this is borderline Fake News. It has elements of truth but as usual the stories are biased. There was no internet privacy as of right now. And even if not "stripped away" the privacy would have been narrow and limited.

You can read it for yourself.

I will say though that what Congress should do is immediately enact an Internet or Technology Privacy act similiar to HIPAA. Anything less is unacceptable. A pipe dream I know.

I mean facebook and google have been doing this already. Pretty crazy how I can google something on my work computer at work then see an ad for the exact same product pop up in an app on my phone... yeah our internet providers are the ones we need to worry about.

Funny that someone will share their entire life story on facebook then complain about their internet provider invading their privacy... get the fuck out of here with that bullshit

Those ads are powered by google itself. It's not selling your data to anyone for that. But that's not to say they don't, I wouldn't know. That doesn't make allowing cable companies which know every single thing you do including the torrents and files you download to do the same okay.

The question is, whats the use? How does this benefit the constituents of Republicans and how does this protect the freedom and privacy of American in line with "supposed" Conservative values?

These Republican clowns came in trying to get rid of the ethics office. That should have told you what was to come right there. We're closing in on a hundred days with their complete control of congress and all this congress has accomplished is this?

Why does that mean I have no life? You post something and then want to add to your previous post while in a train of thought.

You realize Facebook and google already had all that info? And they knew exactly who was looking because of your profile links.

The ISP will have it but it will not be attached to your personal data. I would rather have some fairness to think collection than the undermined way it was doing it before. I like know some of Google and FBs power will diminish.
