Senate Votes to Allow ISPs to Sell Your Private Data 

...

Woooooooow

Amusing to see people winding themselves in knots trying to justify this. Your internet provider should be able to sell your personal data, browsing history, geolocation data, app usage, financial info... why exactly? Because they only have a 97% profit margin and poor Comcast need to break the $10,000,000,000.00 ($10bn/year) glass ceiling? They'll be suffocated by rules protecting their users' privacy and internet integrity.

Hope you don't use your computer to google diseases or symptoms, insurance companies would love to get their hands on that data. The Senate has just made it legal for them to do so.

Make no mistake, this is as partisan an issue as it gets. All Democrats voted against repealing online privacy measures. All Republicans, bar two, voted for it. And lol @ Rand Paul publicly abstaining from voting while actually co-sponsoring the Bill.... apparently privacy promotion and private property rights end where corporate profits begin?

It'll be net neutrality next :)

I would make a joke about this making me pro-anarchy but the ISP might sell it and get me arrested.
