“The ayes have it.” Broadband Privacy has been dealt a blow in Congress with the recent repeal of online privacy protections by the FCC. Since the online privacy protections were voted in by the FCC in 2016, ISPs and their lobbying organizations have been donating and posturing hard to dismantle Internet privacy and bring us to this vote. The CTIA, a telecom lobbying organization, even went so far as to submit a filing claiming that web browsing history and app data usage shouldn’t be considered as “sensitive information.” This appears to be the true sentiment about your online privacy – that it isn’t private and isn’t sensitive and therefore deserves no protections.
After only one hour of debate and no allowance for amendments, S.J. Res 34 passed through the House of Representatives with a 232-184 vote. President Trump has signaled that he supports S.J.Res 34.

I just don't understand how anyone could think this was a good idea? They can't all be clueless or bought off, can they?

These representatives hate the people, but love the money.

Does this mean your wife can see that you're into Femdom, mate?

From what I gather this was a slap at big tech that supported the DIMS (especially Hilldawg)
The big tech guys already do this within their own platforms, Google, Yahoo, Facebook, Microsoft. This allows the smaller guys to compete
