\u201cThe ayes have it.\u201d Broadband Privacy has been dealt a blow in Congress<\/a> with the recent repeal of online privacy protections by the FCC with a 215-205 vote. Since the online privacy protections were voted in by the FCC in 2016,\u00a0ISPs<\/a> and their lobbying organizations<\/a>\u00a0have been donating and posturing hard to dismantle Internet privacy and bring us to this\u00a0vote. The CTIA, a telecom lobbying organization, even went so far as to submit a filing claiming that web browsing history and app data usage shouldn\u2019t be considered as \u201csensitive information.\u201d This appears to be the true sentiment about your online privacy \u2013 that it isn\u2019t private and isn\u2019t sensitive and therefore deserves no protections.<\/p>\n

Edit: a previous post misrepresented the vote as 232-184. The final vote count is now correct.<\/p>\n

Broadband Privacy protections voted down by Congress<\/h2>\n

After only one hour of debate and no allowance for amendments, S.J. Res 34 passed through the House of Representatives with a majority\u00a0vote of 215-205 along party lines. President Trump has signaled that he supports S.J.Res 34 and will sign it.<\/p>\n

Opposition to the vote has been fierce. Representative Mike Pocan, vice chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, said<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cConsidering how much access providers already have to highly sensitive data, it is absolutely unacceptable for them to monetize personal information.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Now, Americans will have no\u00a0online privacy from their ISPs unless they take matters into their own hand. Rick Falkvinge, Head of Privacy at Private Internet Access, commented:<\/p>\n

\u201cPrivacy isn\u2019t a luxury privilege. It\u2019s not even primarily an individual right. It\u2019s first and foremost a collective necessity, for without it, we punish the freethinkers, the divergents, and the breakers of consensus: those we call entrepreneurs and trailblazers. Without it, our society stops dead, gray, and dull.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
