The Senate Just Voted to Allow ISPs to Sell Your Data Without Asking

So there's no difference between the senate and othugga. Traitors, both.

Remember this next time you vote.

I realize commenting without reading really is a common trait, but there is a difference; Obama & the FCC wanted ISPs to get your explicit permission (outside of the user agreement you agreed to when you first signed up with your ISP which, among many things, covered selling data...)to protect Google and Facebook’s market share as many ISPs (hey, AT&T) realized how they could bundle your viewing habits, your browsing habits, e-mail, financial information, etc. That was a more complete picture, and Google and Facebook wanted that quashed.

But hey, since it actually only removes a future regulation which no one is yet subject to and keeps things exactly as they are today, they're traitors, in your opinion.

“The Senate overturned late Obama-era rules Thursday meant to protect consumer privacy from internet service providers that want to sell it. “

I agree with the Senate , yes overturn stupid Obama government regulations no matter how “consumer protective” this article says they were.
