“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.

ISPs can now sell your browsing history without permission, thanks to these Senators

Assuming that this resolution passes through the House, which seems likely at this point, your broadband and wireless internet service provider will have free reign to collect and sell personal data along to third parties.

That information may include (but is not limited to!) location, financial, healthcare and browsing data scraped from customers. As a result of the ruling, you can expect ISPs to begin collecting this data by default.
