Forums - Politics Discussion - Republicans Vote To Allow Internet Providers to Sell Your Browsing History

http://www.avclub.com/article/republican-lawmakers-just-made-it-legal-buy-search-252907

Basically Republicans want to allow ISPs to sell your internet browsing history to the highest bidder. 

Now there is growing backlash from the public and people want the Republican senators who voted for this motion to have their internet browsing history available to the entire public.

I don't see how anyone could defend this. Then again, they have defended the destruction of the environment, so who knows. Maybe this will affect them more and they will give a damn the same way the gave a damn when they heard about dick pics?

At this point, nothing would surprise me.



Lol wonder how much somebody is willing to pay to see what weird and fucked up porn ive been searching for



If anybody had concerns about this then they should be their own damn ISPs or find some other ISP who cares enough ...

I very well know the ramifications of relying on an outsider party's infrastructure so I know what I'm getting into when I'm buying Windows, Intel CPUs, or just about any other consumer electronics ...



Horrible horrible.. I'll never understand why so many of my fellow Americans fight with eachother and argue on this trivial right vs left bs but most seem totally fine or oblivious with this increasing Authoritarianism/big brother bending them over.

Trump is going to sell out internet access to greedy corporations by gutting net neutrality:

They want to kill cheap internet access and allow ISPs to more freely impose data caps.



So, ISP is tracking my browser and saving those files? Great :/
If you wanna apply to a company, then they can buy your files and check what kind of sites you were visiting and decide if you get a job or not.

Hence, why I am not posting my private stuff on social networks. But this makes them easier to check me out.

Nevertheless, I live in Germany, and this won't be happening here... officially.

Both parties aren't great, but one definitely has a lot higher of a number on the 'dick move' counter than the other.



There's only 2 races: White and 'Political Agenda'
2 Genders: Male and 'Political Agenda'
2 Hairstyles for female characters: Long and 'Political Agenda'
2 Sexualities: Straight and 'Political Agenda'

So under obama internet freedom was fought for and under trump its destroyed? Who would've thought the republicans would sell the common man out to a business?? I did.
