Now that Congress lets ISPs sell browsing data, whose are you planning to buy? I have to admit I'm kinda curious/scared about Terry Davis's.

I think i might buy yours, OP. Let's throw in the browsing history of the senators that voted yes for this whole big thing as well.

>browsing history of the senators that voted yes for this whole big thing
I wonder how many media outlets will do exactly that. Should be fun.

VPN.ht

I'm not in the states. Are your politicians exempt from this ruling?

note this law never passed in the fucking first place

they're stopping it from being put INTO law

i don't Sup Forumsspiracy often but you're literally buying a media spin

Senate, and house of reps already voted yes. It's up to Trump to decide now.

>implying you could afford it
>implying the ISP can't just decline to sell to your stupid ass

Kickstarter to buy someone browsing data would be a thing

> NSA backdooring everything is revealed by Snowden
People stop giving a shit after about a year and it continues
> All social media perfect the ability to track everything you do online and sell that data to whoever.
No one cares anymore.
> ISPs can now sell your data.
People pretend they're outraged.

Face it. The only reason there's any outrage at all is because this is being done by Republicans so Democrats are pretending to be outraged to gain political points. It will soon be forgotten and no body will care. Internet privacy died a long time a go and no body cares.

This. Snowden showed the world what was happening to almost universal indifference. If you didn't take at least some steps to improve your privacy then, why be outraged now? People have very short memories.

Partisan politics is all people truly get riled up about.

If any of these fuckwits honestly cared about their privacy or security, this ruling would be of absolutely zero importance to them, because they would already be secured.

Its just classic media hype, time and time again.

I FUCKING don't care about the libard hypocrisy. they may care now, for the wrong reasons, but ultimaly better privacy is a net good.

A broken clock is write at least one a day, so why are you faggots so keen on focusing only on the retardation of the left, it's like you're willing to give of freedoms just to spite a bunch of uninformed cuckolds.

I can't give out too many details for security reasons but I work for decently large ISP that spans a single state.

Our upper management and owners are heavily libertarian so we don't give a flying fuck what our users do nor do we give out data. However, we occasionally get DMCA notices for specific users. If they bug us enough we obligated by law to tell you to cut it out otherwise we wouldn't care.

Can't speak for the big name jews like Comcast and AT&T

Big difference in the government having your data and a private corporation selling your data to other private corporations.

social media being able to track you can easily be avoided if you know what you are doing.
This on the other hand cannot.

Just because you're conservative doesn't mean that you have to play mental gymnastics to make this seem like its an okay thing, Its not.

This time the democrats actually advocated for the peoples privacy. whereas the republicans all voted against it.

Net neutrality will be gone next and conservatives will somehow try to make it seem like its perfectly fine.

>get people to trust companies and governments not to spy on them because it is "against the law"
>make them complacent about personally taking measures to secure themselves
>"trust the authorities, goy"
>this is a good thing

:^)

already liek 10 gofundme's that are doing this

Not the point though
it's been legal to sell it since last year, they made a new law that would make it illegal.. but they're voting to erase that law before it happens (that's what this vote is)
so if it does pass, it'll just be the same as last year

You have to be absolutely fucking retarded if you think that a set of guidelines from the fcc is all that would stop a megacorp from harvesting and profiting off your data.

Jesus, and liberals are the ones who called conservatives mental gymnasts.

this argument is fucking retarded broadband is not any kind of service it's at the point where government protection is just common sense. What's the point of the government if they can't provide basic protections to their citizens?

You are incorrect.
How about getting your news from somewhere other than Sup Forums

Kek. Enjoy playing partisan politics for the rest of your life and being part of the problem.

Well It would allow them to be prosecuted for it.
Also it would stop them from selling the information to a private corporation.
unlike now.

I am correct, as I was there when it happened and I've been watching it the entire time

how about you get your news from somewhere other than Sup Forums

Can a competent, politically-informed user give me a percentage on the chance of Trump vetoing this?

Close to zero. This is a non-issue, and overwhelmingly partisan in nature, so Trump isn't going to rock the boat here.

If anything, he'll rubberstamp it to show GOP leadership that he can "work with the party" and add this to his list of reasons why Paul Ryan should be tossed aside.

5%

Kek.

Hey dude, right leaning libertarian here.

Republicans, democrats you're all retarded, and despite your strawmans I to this day still give a shit about the NSA backdoors, I don't use social media or google anymore and I'm pissed off at the removal of these fcc guidelines not for my personal privacy as all the data that my ISP gets is encrypted, but for those who are technologically inept/unaware that ISPs can now sell their data.

>already liek 10 gofundme's that are doing this
Pointless exercise.

>Just because carriers are allowed to market against data doesn’t mean they’re allowed to sell individual web histories. The campaigns seem well-intentioned, but that’s just not how it works.
> The Telecommunications Act explicitly prohibits the sharing of “individually identifiable” customer information except under very specific circumstances. It’s much more permissive when it comes to “aggregate” customer information, which is where things get squishier and the FCC rules become more important.

You're a fucking retard. The FTC regulated that until they lost the AT&T suit and lost their powers to do so, so the FCC came in an added regulation to stop the issue before it became an issue. Now the Republicucks want to move power back to the FTC, which now has no teeth, which means ISPs will have freedom to sell this whereas before they didn't.

if you think the FTC is "toothless" you're retarded and informed.

it's completely toothless against ISPs.
How about you inform youself dumbfuck.

It will be soon enough.

thehill.com/policy/technology/318438-deregulation-supporter-named-head-of-ftc-consumer-protection-bureau

REMINDER THAT TRUMP APPOINTED AN ANTI NET NEUTRALITY SHITSKIN TO THE FCC WHOS NAME BACKWARDS IS LITERALLY PAJEET

Can't wait to see CNN or MSNBC buy Trumps internet browsing history and publish it. I bet he googles THICC Latinas

I assure you he jacks off to cuckold porn.

DELETE THIS

how much do VPNs protect you?

yep, so what I said was right..

Comcast employee here. We don't give a fuck because you are one of thirty million dots floating in an endless ocean of metrics. Unless someone approaches us threatening DMCA or the FBI wants your records we can't keep up even if we wanted to and thus simply do not pay attention.

>tfw reddit is less retarded than Sup Forums

zero
unless your VPN connects via an ISP that you know will not keep logs

it goes beyond "partisan politics". lots of people, specially on reddit or arstechnica, but even on Sup Forums, hn, slashdot and other "technology enthusiast" communities, are unabashed corporate shills.
censorship by government is bad and must be opposed, but censorship by reddit, google, etc. is a-ok.
government spying is bad, but spying by isps is fine
corporate money ending the public domain, corrupting reaseach, hiding recent develoments in academic research under non diclosure agreements, do-not-compete contracts, patents and copyright, even as the research itself is underwritten in whole or in part by public funds --- and the shills will cover for it.
>muh progress
>muh meritocracy
>muh singularity

and you've also got the "left" that will criticize any corporate action, and apologize for any of the same crap as long as its int the name of "national security"

it looks hopeless, but i think the people that actually take personal responsibility for the security of their shit simply dont post : The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity

hell the fuck no

>cant be avoided
what is https
what is vpn
what is tor
what is switching isps - or - why not! setting up your own isp that doesnt collect data, and make a buck while youre at it?

>net neutrality
it was doa - gimped from the initial plan presented by wheeler, and allowed everything you hated and more under the gaping "loophole" of bandwidth management.
For my part i dont even want net neutrality - i wold rather require isps to lease their cables to competitors, or see alternatives to centralized internet like cjdns take off.

>setting up your own isp that doesnt collect data
that's illegal

Yes I know most of the media, dems, and liberals are cashing in on this for their own benefit but to me, it's different.
You think this is some republican boogeyman type shit
Fuck no i could care less what side it is I just don't want the fucking gov buying my information at the snap of their fingers.
So you say they've been doing this all the time, well good to know, now we can work on that problem as well.

the boat has long since sailed

>isps monetize your personal information
>governments can now just purchase your information instead of spying
>governments continue spying
>isps claim copyright infringement of the information they collect on you, and sue the government for costs+punitive damages
>governments stop spying, at&t and comcast get richer, and all the terrorists and pedos get v&.

its morning again in america

>setting up your own isp that doesnt collect data, and make a buck while youre at it?
Good luck with that. Lobbying, stalling and bribing from the large existing ISPs will stall you out unless you have unlimited money.
B-B-b-but my free market will fix everything! curse all of this Govt. Regulations!

I guess it's too much to hope that Trump can crush lobbying in the next year.

By just giving all the corporations' CEOs cabinet positions? It does kind of make lobbying irrelevant.

The laws still prevent the selling or trading of personally identifiable information. You can't just buy your neighbors search history. You get anonymized and sanitized aggregate data.

So is there any practical reason to care?

Look, I don't like the fact that the gov is looking over my shoulder, but haven't we already accepted that you're being watched on the net if you haven't taken steps to get out of the way?

Seriously, does this new situation make it more likely to be caught pirating? Does it just make you a victim to more targeted advertising?

I'm honestly asking, how is this worse than whats been happening thus far?

>I'm honestly asking, how is this worse than whats been happening thus far?
It's legal now.

>setting up your own isp that doesnt collect data
Dr. Pavel, I'm CIA

Your tax money are spent on it.

>ajit pai
>pajit ai
>Pajeet A.I.

... time to die.

Of course, they are lobbyists they have control of the permits, contracts and fees
If an ISP wants to screw the big wigs they will pay big time.
