VPN company takes out full page ad regarding S.J.Res 34 passing

This bill is truly indefensible. Yet almost nobody is talking about it. If this passes on the house, just go ahead and bend over for Big Brother.

seeing Sasse on this makes me sad

Somebody's on Reddit 
Almost posted this. Question...Why did Rand abstain?

Yep. But this shite should be everywhere. I'm kinda shocked that it has barely been discussed here. Especially with posters on both sides of the spectrum having so much distrust in our government.
Rand should've been outspoken about this bill. I'm disappointed that he wasn't.

I haven't seen anything else. Everything I've seen, it's about allowing you browsing history to be sold to companies to profit. This appears to be strictly about the money. Being that it was so quiet leading up to it, I doubt they even read the bill.

I don't know the details, but "your" browsing history belongs to the company that you use to browse. Unless there is a contractual agreement to protect that history, then I don't see the problem with this. recommend someone step up and develop a more secure system

I was told Ben Sasse and Mike Lee were the real principled conservatives in DC...

There isn't a contractual agreement, because it's been the law up until this point.

What was the law? That companies can't sell browsing data?

Yes. That is current law.
But that hasn't always been the case. FCC took over regulations from the FTC a couple of years ago and made the regulations for ISPs much more strict than for companies like Google and FB.
This new law will basically make it all even, meaning ISPs would be under the same laws as Google, FB, etc.
Someone needs to explain the fear mongering behind this because I'm not seeing it

ahhhh. Gotcha.
How awesome would it be to be paid to browse the Internet? Could that be a real possibility if companies sell browsing data? I dunno, but I don't have a problem with it barring fraudulent practices.

According to a study by the Pew Research Center, 91% of adults agree or strongly agree that “consumers have lost control of how personal information is collected and used by companies.”

Well it sounds like the government has been selectively regulating what companies do with their own data, which is dumb.

correct
the basis for the bill is "why are ISPs being treated differently from Google?"
and I understand that ISPs generally have a monopoly due to crony capitalism, so that makes this a bit trickier in all these regulations
I really go back and forth on all these ISP regulations

I've read there are apps that pay to monitor everything you do with your phone.
