Enforcer84 Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 Well, it wasn't like this wasn't being done already, this only makes it official. Well the ISP's have tried and gotten caught when it was illegal and had to pay fines. Now we don't even get that. Now that corporations are better than people I guess this is the march to the future. Looks like Japanese Neo-Corp future is probably more likely than nuclear holocaust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enforcer84 Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 In response to the Feds repeal of FCC Internet Privacy Protections (thanks GOP) Minnesota goes for state issued protections. https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/blog/2017/03/minnesota-senate-votes-58-9-pass-internet-privacy-protections-response-repeal-fcc-privacy-rules/ The pros? Yay! Can't sell Info! Can't refuse to provide service to those who won't sign off on sale of ISP information. The Cons? Does leave the door open for privacy to become a "product" we have to pay them to not sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranxerox Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 Tick tock. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2017/03/congress-debates-reversing-course-decades-consumer-privacy-protections?link_id=8&can_id=a6c53469a0fc060cebd5a72ffb651879&source=email-vote-is-tomorrow-6&email_referrer=vote-is-tomorrow-6&email_subject=vote-is-tomorrow Senate sold our internet histories, search integrity, and internet privacy already. House votes to do it tomorrow. When I read this article I was very upset. Heck, I was fighting mad. When I read dug a little deeper the next day and discovered that the FCC rule that the Republicans were repealing only dates back to October and wasn't scheduled to go into effect until December 2017, my feeling were strongly mixed. I was relieved that to learn that the only effect of the repeal was to maintain the status quo and pissed as all get out at the EFF for deceiving me. The broadband privacy rules approved last October appear to be very good rules, and the fact that the Republicans are repealing them is messed up. We should be upset about this. However, these were new rules that hadn't even taken effect yet. So if your ISP hasn't in all these years already sold your browsing history (and they haven't) the repeal of some rules that hadn't even gone into effect yet, isn't going to make it happen now. This article was making it out like the one law that had been stopping ISPs from selling our browser history for years had just been axed by the new Republican congress. Really, that what I thought had happened after I read the article. This isn't accidental. This particular article doesn't mention that the broadband privacy rules were very recent, and none of the EFF articles that I saw mentioned that the rules being repealed weren't scheduled to take take effect until December. I am calling fear-mongering on this, and fear-mongering is suppose to be a Trump thing not one of our things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
