Verizon Asks the Federal Communications Commission to Prohibit States from Protecting User Privacy
After lobbying Congress to repeal consumer privacy protections over ISPs, Verizon wants the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to do it a favor and preempt states from restoring their privacy rights. While Congress repealed the previous FCC’s privacy rule, it left the underlying Section 222 intact. As a result, dozens of state bills were then introduced to restore broadband privacy, mirroring Section 222 of the Communications Act.
Well I would tell Verizon go to hell and change service, not that the other won't end up doing the same thing if they aren't already.
