Your personal information was hacked in your Home Depot, Target, Arby's, Blue Cross accounts. Now this theft has been legalized by the US government. ANY ACTIVITY on the internet is being sold to the highest bidder.

BREAKING NEWS
The Senate voted to kill a regulation which had not yet taken effect.
Internet loses its mind over the horrible change in policy.

The party of individual freedom once again shows it's true colors.

First we claim that Global Warming doesn't exist and shelve regulations on coal mining. Congratulations Trump voters. You get a few coal mining jobs back temporarily and we get to send you back down into a toxic hole to make a living that the industry does not want. They prefer natural gas.

Now this!

I suggest the GOP go ahead and change the name of the country to the United States of Corporate America.

The proper analogy would be "The GOP should change the name of the country to the United States of America".

Correction: The United Corporations of America. Think of American citizens as shareholders. We are going to become victims of insider trading. The "best government money can buy".

I wonder how our two Senators voted and why?

[Reiver]

I am amused that one of the reasons why this is an issue, is that Net Neutrality has limited how the FCC can regulate ISPs.

Notice that NO DEMOCRAT voted for this. Congratulations GOP, you now make this the United States of Corporate America.....

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.

The only people who seem to want this are the people who are going to make lots of money from it. (Hint: they work for companies like Comcast, Verizon, and AT&T.) Incidentally, these people and their companies routinely give lots of money to members of Congress.

Note on the data below: donations include contributions from corporations in the telecom industry and employees of those corporations (individual and non-individual contributions). The largest donors tend to be corporations which contributed funds to the candidate and / or the candidate’s leadership organization (PAC). All figures only reflect donations tallied for the candidate’s most recent election — many have received total sums much larger than the figure reflected over the course of their career in Congress. Figures are from federal election data compiled by the National Institute on Money in State Politics (Home - FollowTheMoney.org 1 (http://www.followthemoney.org)).

Your link IS to the home page...guess we can't verify accuracy.

If you are wondering why no Dems voted yes, it must be because they were not given any money by the lobbyist pushing this thru. Certainly you are aware the Dem's votes are for sale too??

They need to curb the lobbyist, maybe prevent people in office from becoming lobbyist would help...NO that is a Trump idea, and all those are evil and stupid!
