You know the Party that used to believe in Small Government and right of Individuals...Formerly know as GOP, they just voted that now what your Children do and watch online is up for grabs and open for sale...

House Republicans freed Internet service providers such as Verizon, AT&T and Comcast of protections approved just last year that had sought to limit what companies could do with information such as customer browsing habits, app usage history, location data and Social Security numbers. The rules also had required providers to strengthen safeguards for customer data against hackers and thieves.
The Senate has voted to nullify those measures, . If Captain Carrot signs the legislation as expected, providers will be able to monitor their customers’ behavior online and, without their permission, in the $83 billion online advertising market.

So enjoy your government of the rich for the rich by the rich.

After this moron, Barack Obama will get a spot on Mount Rushmore.
 
The OP doesn't appear to know what small government means. If you end a practice that attempts to stop private individuals from acting in a certain way that increases liberty and government influence in peoples lives. What this means is that decreasing things like government regulations decreases the size of government.

1. Republicans haven't actually been for small government. They just talk about it.

2. How does this represent small or big government? They are private businesses.

3. Google and other companies have been data-mining the **** outta people forever now. So basically any regulations that currently existed were meaningless.

4. The regulation that should keep companies on top of t heir security measures should be lawsuits smashing them when they fail to protect consumer privacy.

This is already being done by the giants like Amazon and Google. This bill "levels the playing field" by allowing ISP providers do the same.

It sucks that even more info grabbers will be out there.

Not True...Amazon and Google do not sell your information to the highest bidder. They listen and monitor you...Sure, but that information is kept private, and not open for sale to other companies.


There is a huge difference with what Google, Amazon and even apple, Not sure about the facebook (that is why I don't use facebook) do with the information they collect from you, than what congress just did (it most likely won't pass senate), but nevertheless Republican Congress wants to do.


Shame Shame Shame
