There have been several well documented efforts to raise money to buy the browsing history of individual members of Congress. Can’t be done, at least not legally. That’s not the way it works.
Read on for the details but, bottom line, don’t give these folks your money.
Well that sucks. I’d be very curious what they’re been searching.
The new law is worded in a way that it calls everything in this article into question. In fact, it even explicitly blocks the FCC from creating any future privacy safeguards.
If something is “arguable” then you can be certain that law enforcement and more will be making the case in a court sometime that getting an individual’s browsing history might not even take a warrant anymore considering the law says businesses can sell that info anytime they want — and, well, we are going to make them want to one way or the other.
We are just a presidential signature away from it.
These efforts, whether tongue-in-cheek or not (Misha Collins has already said any money he gets will go to the EFF or ACLU — I forget which — depending on feasibility and what actually happens with the regulations) are extremely worthwhile and part of a 200+ year tradition in lampooning government in an attempt to call it out and make things change for the better.
