instead of being so sensitive you could have stated why the repeal of this regulation is a good thing mr snowflake

You're proving my point by coming at me like this. You have no interest whatsoever in a mature discussion with shit like this. lmao People can get crazy over silly things.  I guess I'll give my position to this whole thing just to throw ya a bone to further see what you do and invite others who are willing to discuss it in a mature manner.

actually you are proving my point here - I'm deliberately using language very often aimed at liberals to get rightwingers to admit that this is condescending hogwash .. and this crap won the election

Republicans are planning on getting rid of the net neutrality rules and that would reset the privacy rules back to the way they were before the FCC tried to get around some legal hurdles with the net neutrality rules. The new privacy rules were redundant because they were modeled after the old privacy rules and were only being implemented because of those legal rulings on the net neutrality rules changed what ISPs were classified as therefore making the old privacy rules not apply to them.  I can understand that some are worried about their privacy but overreacting in this way is asinine . 

Not even the ISPs (the driving force behind the repeal of net neutrality) argue that the old regulations are enough to keep them from tracking your activity, they say it's unfair that facebook and Google can do what they can't. But there is a grave distinction here - you can opt out of using the social networks/Google that only track whats going on on their websites, but it's much harder to opt out of an ISP tracking all your internet actvity, especially if there is a highly limited amount or actually just 1 broadband provider in your region.

"asinine" is not a word I'd expect to be used in a "mature discussion"
