Like you said, both parties are dicks, but republicans generally win the "Ass backwards" award. Like, at the very least, democrats are more discrete about their dick moves, republicans just go public with that shit. OT: this quote from Jeff Flake (Arizona Republican senator) really butters my toast, "the first step toward restoring a consumer-friendly approach to internet privacy regulation that empowers consumers to make informed choices on if and how their data can be shared." Unless my reading comprehension is atrocious, isn't this bill literally doing the exact opposite? |
Yes the bill does the exact opposite. The original net neutraliagity stated that ISPs had to get the user permission first before being able to sell their data. Of course no ISP ever did that because they knew it was stupid and only the dumbest person would agree to it. Now with the new rules in place, ISPs do not have to ask the user for any permission. They can sell to the highest bidder and the limits on what they can collect I believe is very small to nothing at all. When you read what the Republicans are throwing out there and the new head of the FCC, you would think they believe the average American are complete idiots, Ohh snap we elected Donal Trump as president, never mind.
