House votes to block the online privacy rule
" ... a first step toward allowing internet providers such as Comcast, AT&T and Verizon to sell the browsing habits of their customers."
I laughed out loud when I read this:
"'President Trump now has the opportunity to veto this resolution and show he is not just a president for CEOs but for all Americans,' said the ACLU's Neema Singh Guliani."
Oh, Neema, dear, dear Neema. You sweet, naive man.
I hate to defend anything trump likes, but people have to remember that some things exist without a government regulation. This isn't an instant destruction of net privacy, and the first co to sell net browsing history is in for a shitstorm.
ReplyDeleteTrue.
DeleteOn the other hand, Time-Warner and Comcast are already known to be utterly evil, so they don't really care about a shitstorm. They don't even wear a shitcoat.
Oh, I'm well aware of the evil of the massive isp giants. But much like repealing obamacare doesn't mean 'women won't have care anymore!!!' this isn't a direct route between point a and point B. The dickhead in charge of the fcc isn't wrong in saying we had privacy before this passed. (now if only he was right about net neutrality, a whole other ballgame)
