The senate just voted to undo landmark rules covering your internet privacy

[MindWars]

Senate lawmakers voted Thursday to repeal a historic set of rules aimed at protecting consumers' online data from their own Internet providers, in a move that could make it easier for broadband companies to sell and share their customers' usage information for advertising purposes.

But don't worry you have nothing to hide, and aren't doing a dam thing wrong it's ok for the government to be up your arse like a probe it keeps you very safe from the boggie man terrorist.
Just like all the spy cameras in London. Those dozens of camers everywhere really kept those people safe.

And, just as fast as Congress does something, here comes this:



FEC Dems again eye regulating Drudge, YouTube, Twitter, Facebook

Leftists continue to attack the freest source of information available to us. They cannot stand it that there are other sources of information than their beloved Polimedia.

"It means that the @FEC's disclosure rules have not been updated for the era of YouTube, Facebook, or Twitter," it said, reiterating charges from Ravel and others that the FEC rules are outdated. She led the effort to change them and Republicans on the commission said that her goal was only to regulate right-leaning websites, like Drudge, and online campaigns of Republicans.

And they especially hate that news like this gets widely disseminated and shared. Full story with Tweets @ FEC Dems again eye regulating Drudge, YouTube, Twitter, Facebook

What are the "Landmark Rules" you're talking about?

U.S. senators voted 50 to 48 to approve a joint resolution from Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) that would prevent the Federal Communications Commission's privacy rules from going into effect. The resolution also would bar the FCC from ever enacting similar consumer protections. It now heads to the House.

Where it will easily pass.

From OP's link:

That Congress disapproves the rule submitted by the Federal Communications Commission relating to “Protecting the Privacy of Customers of Broadband and Other Telecommunications Services” (81 Fed. Reg. 87274 (December 2, 2016)), and such rule shall have no force or effect.'

Where and what are the "Landmark Rules"?
