Less privacy on the internet

There is not much privacy at all on the internet but soon there will be even less privacy. The Republicans and the Trump administration are doing their best to make sure of that.

Republicans are giving the little privacy you have to internet service providers. They will be free to sell your information on which websites you visit and what your do there. The bill has been passed by both the Senate and House. President Trump will sign it. (see Republicans Attack Internet Privacy).

More money for the big companies. Less privacy for us.

Does anyone think they will get a discount on their internet bill?

The Trump FCC had already voted to stop the rule that internet service providers must take “reasonable measures” with your information such as social security and credit card numbers. (see How the Republicans Sold Your Privacy to Internet Providers
and LOBBYISTS LOVE PAI —Broadband lobbyists celebrate as FCC halts data security requirements).

This is a big win for the companies in the internet service provider business and a loss for normal folks but the Republicans are OK with that.
