OILERMAN Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-switch/wp/2017/03/28/the-house-just-voted-to-wipe-out-the-fccs-landmark-internet-privacy-protections/?utm_term=.97ce7edbe4b7&tid=a_inl Congress sent proposed legislation to President Trump on Tuesday that wipes away landmark online privacy protections, the first salvo in what is likely to become a significant reworking of the rules governing Internet access in an era of Republican dominance. In a party-line vote, House Republicans freed Internet service providers such as Verizon, AT&T and Comcast of protections approved just last year that had sought to limit what companies could do with information such as customer browsing habits, app usage history, location data and Social Security numbers. The rules also had required providers to strengthen safeguards for customer data against hackers and thieves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btowner Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 I doubt half of them read or understood the impact of this change. All they needed was for someone to tell them it was a regulation implemented by Obama. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogue Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 Well, one thing we can say for certain is that this is going to help us folks that don't feel the government works for them anymore. I, for one, don't have enough fingers to count how many ways this is going to make my life better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
