Can your doctor or your lawyer sell your information..?
Of course I am aware that our data can be sold when we don't protect it
But this keeps us from even being able to protect it at all
Obviously I knew the Republican apologists would line up (Thank you Baldy and ASUG8) and explain it away
But this goes beyond - and is a complete surrendering of personal rights to a corporate entity
it's indefensible regardless of your apologies for your senators complete lack of humanity
Jeezus Christ, Princess...
What part of "it pisses me off" did you not understand?
After briefly looking at the Joint Resolution (the devil is in the details), it is only a statement by Congress that it does not agree with a PROPOSED Rule by the FCC.
This resolution did absolutely NOTHING to enable ISP's to sell your information....NOTHING.
Chizz.

Heads up Baldy ... your wrong
J43 repeals the previous ruling that ISP could NOT sell your data
Now there is NOTHING legally against them selling your data
Read closer
There was a law against it
Now there is not
ISP are free to act on their own
Not legally obligated to protect
Senator Markey also issued a statement
“Consumers will have no ability to stop Internet service providers from invading their privacy and selling sensitive information about their health, finances, and children to advertisers, insurers, data brokers or others who can profit off of this personal information, all without their affirmative consent.”

Be sure and shake your Senators hand Baldy
He loves people like you
Don't worry: You weren't using your private personal data anyway
