You mean the protections that this blocks? The ones that never went into effect? This ruling passes the responsibility back to the FTC.
Got a tip for us?

Campaign contributions from telecom companies followed by vote for this crap bill = payment in all but name.
Keep deluding yourself.
Keep making claims you can't source. It's very entertaining.
You think I can't source telecom donations to Republicans? It's public information.

This is sickening. Many people have no choice in their internet providers, so if a provider decides to sell their browsing data, people either have to go without an essential utility (internet) or accept that their data will be sold.
It's okay. You can admit your overlords are wrong, even though they can't.
Thanks Trumpies!
Looking forward to this police state.
Boy, this is making America SO "great again"!
Jk; I hope you get a hangnail.

I don't know about you but I would rather not be served ads for bisexual single grandmothers near me....
Is that really how you think this works? The politician receives a check from the telecom and in the memo line it says, "Payment for voting to give us the ability to sell consumers' internet data". Is that seriously what you think?
Btw, seems like Marsha Blackburn has taken $693,000 in telecom donations. Hmmm...

Nope not at all. They just donate out of the goodness of their heart.
Now back to your regularly scheduled programming of ignoring reality.
Dude, I despise all politicians. I think each and every one of them wants to either gentle rape our butts or brutally rape our butts. Every election cycle they just rotate rolls. So if this year the democrats are raping us the republicans are holding us down. Then next year the republicans will rape us and the democrats will hold us down.
But one sounds just stupid if they make a claim that their votes were purchased and then can't back it up.

I've made political donations and haven't expected anything in return. But keep spouting your rhetoric, its fun.

I prefer it to your program of reconstructing reality and wild speculation.
That's because your donations are no match for corporations. If you donated hundreds of thousands to politicians then they'd actually care what you think.
Whatever. Personally I think the majority of people who are upset about this are worried that their PORN BROWSER HISTORY will be leaked.
Health data. Banking data. Much more important things than that.
I don't look at porn and I don't put any of that data on the internet anyway, so I'm good.
Yes, let's pretend the small donations you've made compare to the tens of thousands of dollars or more that special interest groups donate. Give me a freaking break dude. Your willful ignorance of how the U.S. political system works is sad.
Have you ever searched for anything health related? If someone is diagnosed with an illness then they'll likely research it and then the data of the sites they visited and what they look at will be sold.
source where any politician was paid for their vote but it still happens. old mich sure said he was when he said he would not vote fora judge because the NRA would nutlike it.
[doublepost=1490799584][/doublepost]hey at least we will gt more info on politicians porn site preferences now.
Surely they could provide it as a value-added service and make it more obvious, apparent, automatic, and robust?
I can help friends and family set up as blockers and secure their wifi setups.
But now I have to get people I care about to route traffic through a vpn as well? That's going to be much harder.
This is not good at all.

Is that all you've got left? Deflection?

Yup, just worried about that porn history though.
