OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) - A bipartisan group of lawmakers in Washington state have signed on in support of proposals that seek to secure internet privacy. The measures, which were introduced in both the House and Senate, come following President Donald Trump’s signature on a measure rolling back internet-privacy protections that had been scheduled to go into effect, The Seattle Times reports (http://bit.ly/2nL2nY0 ).

Dunno. I’ve heard it argued both ways and I’m not a technical guy.
