Is the internet making a big deal about Congress reversing FCC privacy rule? - Page 3 - Politics and Economics

Doesn't this just give your internet provider the same access to your information for add revenue what google and facebook were going to have from the new law?

I don't know about you, but I can use the internet without using Google or Facebook. My attempts thus far to use the internet without an ISP have failed.

Govt serves FB with 381 warrants for disability fraud (not murder, or pedophilia), not only that but tells FB they can't let anyone know about the warrants. FB gives up the users - but appeals - which apparently they just lost.

Now imagine the Trump admin trolling ISPs for browsing history on a much larger scale. Tell me what stops that from happening? Common decency? ISP promises they won't give up our data? FISA court rubber stamps?

Suzzer, this can happen with or without the FCC regulation.

But if you think "urls from your browsing history", IP address, etc. are things that are already legally protected, then citation needed.

Tsao: "I don't understand why people think this is important." [Reasons charitably given to him], and it's "I don't think this is important." Ummm ok? Well, we tried. Lord knows why any interaction continues with this guy beyond that step.

Have you tried shouting "PORNHUB!" at the air and seeing if it appears?
