Don’t let Congress give away your right to privately browse the web

iMore:

Tomorrow, the House of Representatives votes on an already-passed joint resolution from the Senate. This bill would repeal the FCC’s 2016 privacy rules on how ISPs can and can’t use your private data.

In plain English: If you connect to the internet using a service like Charter, Comcast, Verizon, AT&T, or others, those companies are currently bound against doing certain things with your data. By passing this bill, Congress (and the President) would remove that barrier.

Regardless of the “I don’t have anything to hide” argument, this is something everyone should be concerned with.

  1. The problem is that you never had that privacy. Google and Facebook are harvesting your data and selling it like there’s no tomorrow. The argument the ISPs used was that they’ve got restrictions that the other players don’t. In that sense, I have sympathy for them. Personally, I wish nobody was harvesting my data. That’s a big part of why I am in the Apple camp.

  2. This frankly appalls me. We desperately need a Bill of Rights for the internet era. Don’t even get me started on the “don’t have anything to hide” argument.

    Privacy. Internet neutrality. Access to strong encryption. All critical to maintaining our rights as individuals today and in the future.

  3. Google is paying 97$ per hour! Work for few hours and have longer with friends & family! !mj381d:
