Republicans Repealed Online Privacy Protection
ISPs can now sell your data without permission
Trump & Republicans passed a law that will let internet service providers sell your browsing history and personal data to advertisers, without your permission.
Congressional Republicans voted to repeal a regulation that prohibits Internet Service Providers from selling your personal online information (browsing history, social security number, emails, etc.) at the behest of Comcast, Verizon, & AT&T. In a brazen act of corruption—which can only be explained by the millions in campaign contributions given to Republicans by the telecommunications industry.
Republicans have shown that they have no interest in representing anyone but their donors. However, they aren’t going to get away with this, because Americans are vowing to fight back by buying off and publishing the private information of Republicans that voted in favor of this measure.
The 265 members of Congress who sold you out to ISPs, and how much it cost to buy them
Republicans in Congress just voted to reverse a landmark FCC privacy rule that opens the door for ISPs to sell customer data. Lawmakers provided no credible reason for this being in the interest of Americans, except for vague platitudes about “consumer choice” and “free markets,” as if consumers at the mercy of their local internet monopoly are craving to have their web history quietly sold to marketers and any other third party willing to pay.
To Serve AT&T and Comcast, Congressional GOP Votes to Destroy Online Privacy
Clarifying events in politics are often healthy even when they produce awful outcomes. Such is the case with yesterday’s vote by House Republicans to free internet service providers (ISPs) – primarily AT&T, Comcast and Verizon – from the Obama-era FCC regulations barring them from storing and selling their users’ browsing histories without their consent.
‘Cards Against Humanity’ Creator Vows To Buy And Publish Congress’s Internet History
Many Americans are understandably upset that state representatives voted against net neutrality, effectively allowing Internet Service Providers (like Time Warner Cable, Comcast, etc.) to sell our private data off to whichever company wants to buy it. Adding insult to injury is just how little some of the representatives had donated to them from the ISPs to fork over our personal data.
