Sorry, you are so clueless
Right now Google and Facebbok sell ads based on their internal data that they share with ad buyers. They can do this because they have a YUGE platform
ISPs cant do that on a national level, but ISPs can target a more local group of advertisers. So if a vendor wants to know who is searching for X or Y, the ISP can supply that localized data.
So the ad buys now go 'local', Cheaper, more efficient. Which translates to ad $$$ never making it to Google, Facebook, Yahoo. Revenue killer

Once again it's proof the Democrats are the party of basic civil libertys.

We need more of this. Free market will prevail either way.

What is in it for Republicans to want this shite? I'd love to know how much they each got paid.
I lose more and more faith in our Government with every passing day. I will purposely not vote for anyone who voted for this crap.

Drain the Swamp was drain everything that is in the swamp. Republicans and Democrats all represent goverenment and not the people.

A number of broadband providers, their associations, as well as some other commenters argue that because broadband providers are part of a larger online eco-system that includes edge providers, they should not be subject to a different set of regulations. These arguments ignore the particular role of network providers and the context of the consumer/BIAS provider relationship, and the sector specific privacy statute that governs the use and sharing of information by providers of telecommunications services. Based on our review of the record, we reaffirm our earlier finding that a broadband provider “sits at a privileged place in the network, the bottleneck between the customer and the rest of the Internet”—a position that we have referred to as a gatekeeper.

So this bill returns things to how they were prior to 2016?
Posted on 3/28/17 at 7:03 pm to Jake88
Yes

No!
The rescheduling of ISPs by the FCC, net neutrality, and the broadband privacy rule were implemented to preserve the status quo of the internet.

I don't think many people understand this bill. I read that there were already privacy laws in place and this was just overregulation that would drive up internet costs.

Bingo. I'm rather surprised at the folks who call themselves libertarians who are against this bill. I figured they would be against giving a group of companies a competitive advantage over another through bureaucratic fiat.

Means Democrats support monopolies.
