I'm still waiting for the legalization of insider trading, monopolies, and elimination of corporate taxes
See, right there tells me which news sources you are watching. The popular vote is a joke and the reason why we have the electoral college. Take a close look at the map. Most of her votes that put her over the top were in New York and California. Those two states do NOT represent the rest of the country. Just because she won the popular vote doesn't mean a thing. Next thing your going to tell me is that when the baseball world series is played, we are going to need to start only counting the total number of runs over the 7 games instead of which team won each game.
News flash: The republicans own the house, senate, presidency and most of the governorships.The liberal snowflake way of thinking is NOT what most people want in this country. As soon as you realize that, you will be a much happier person.
I watch a variety of news sources. Both the left and the right so I can make informed opinions. It's time to stop arguing about the election and election process. Right now it's irrelevant. Trump is President. This has been my point. What he's doing (or not doing) is the focus. If you think the left is acting out of "spite" for the election, you are not paying attention. The Republicans "own" everything and yet it's still big ole clusterf@#$ right now, isn't it? And my opinion is that you're wrong. I think there are many things the left AND right want and Trump and his administration are not providing that. If you think Trump speaks for the majority - it tells me which news sources or social networks you are watching. See what I did there?
The idiot in the White House is surrounded by those who are advising him to do everything that will make their wealthy donors richer.
WHAT. A. JERK.
WHAT. A. JERK.
So what exactly did the order say and do ? Please tell me.
Which ones are double dipping ? It appears most claim that they don't.
Oh, but that doesn't coincide with the liberal agenda, so we will ignore it.
There're not funneling traffic. Again, nothing has changed. Most people don't realize that Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime detect when you're using a VPN and won't work.
How's that ???
Yeah... I guess I can opt out of Google, but hard to opt out of searching... and I'm sure Bing, yahoo and the rest of them do the same as google when it comes to using your search info.
Since Trump is just stopping a law that has not taken affect yet, doesn't that mean that things stay the same as they are now? This all seems like a "sky is falling" discussion when in reality it's a "the sky is the same as it was yesterday" situation.
Impeachment, NOW.

Let me flip that argument, 'power held by the government' doesn't line the pocket of politicians, it's the power to the corporations that lines the pockets of politicians.
One can guess who benefits from less regulations, it's not the common man.
ha ha ha... good for you. me neither
but i have quite a few in fb (and brexiteers) and not surprisingly, they overlap quite a bit in their mindset 
Please produce a basis and equivalence of comparing how Obama who supported internet privacy, is worse than Trump who killed it? It's beyind logic. Are you a Trumpet?

You go Huntn!
That pic of Pelosi cracks me up. Once; just once, I'd like to see a politician - any party will do - NOT cherry pick facts and present the whole story. I'm so tired of half truths, partial facts and outright lies. You can't even call this garbage spin anymore - it's just willful omission with the intent to deceive.
See also the FCC rules that were designed to take effect in Dec. The implementation of this last year effectively prevented this kind of activity from ISP's. So, it is not really the same as Oct.

How about staying/going back on target. Do you think this repeal is a good thing? Do you think ISPs should be able to sell your info?
"For end users, the repeal of the law effectively maintains the status quo because it was not enacted before being shuttered"
These rules have been in effect since the beginning of commercial internet access. If you're freaking out about them now, what's wrong with you?
And, why is the press such a basket of morons? They've been reporting the wrong facts since this started.

I think the law should have been expanded to everyone, not just ISP's. What good does it do to prevent the ISP from spying on me (and trust me in a day of HTTPS, they don't see much short of what IP you're heading to (or if clever they can build a transparent HTTPS proxy and strip off SNI and get at least the URL)) when Google, Facebook, Amazon, Wal-Mart, etc. are all doing the same thing with way more targeted information. Either enact a privacy rule that protects us against them all, or forget it and let the states choose what to do.
P.S. And before you respond with you can choose not to use Google, Facebook, Amazon, Wal-Mart, etc. Name some companies that aren't doing exactly this that you could still use on the internet? As if they aren't, they're out of business as not many people are willing to pay a company to avoid them spying on them for "advertising" purposes.

Because I value privacy. I recognize that many people are ok with what the government is doing, but after leak after leak of our information, my summer project to remove as many accounts as possible and protect my information as much as possible.
Ahh, the VPN crowd. Have you fully vetted your VPN provider to make sure they aren't inspecting your data? Have you vetted their ISP? I hope you are dropping off cash into a cardboard box in a alley somewhere, otherwise, they know who you are.
