The new rule in Seattle, set by the City of Seattle Information Technology Department (ITD) Director\u2019s Rule, applies to cable companies chartered in the city \u2013 including Comcast, Wave, and CenturyLink. For Tacoma, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kiro7.com\/unavailable-location\/\">new rule<\/a> applies to the two\u00a0cable providers using cable pipes in their jurisdiction \u2013 namely Advanced Stream and Rainier Connect. Seattle has the authority to set these new city level broadband privacy rules\u00a0under\u00a0Seattle Municipal Code SMC 21.60, also known as the Cable Code. Unfortunately, internet service providers (ISPs) that don\u2019t have cable franchise agreements in Seattle. Companies that don\u2019t need to follow these broadband privacy protections include ISPs such as\u00a0AT&amp;T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon.<\/p>\n<p>Seattle Mayor Murray <a href=\"https:\/\/techtalk.seattle.gov\/2017\/05\/03\/seattle-it-broadband-privacy-directors-rule-qa\/\">explained<\/a> the rationale behind Seattle\u2019s decision:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cBecause of this repeal at the national level, the City is using powers at its disposal to implement a similar rule and protect the rights of our public.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>At the state level, the Washington state legislature had bills in both houses that would enact these same internet privacy protections. However,\u00a0like other states such as Minnesota, the institution of state level broadband privacy protections have stalled.<\/p>\n<h2>Other states have already passed or are considering their own broadband\u00a0privacy protections, but not many city councils<\/h2>\n<p>Washington isn\u2019t the only state that took offense to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/blog\/president-trump-makes-big-splash-swamp-signs-away-americans-internet-privacy\/\">President Trump\u2019s signing<\/a> of the FCC broadband privacy repeal. It\u2019s also worth noting that some states, like Nevada, already had rules in place restricting ISPs from selling your personal browsing history. As of now, the majority of people in the country (let alone the world) still don\u2019t enjoy these protections. The slippery slope of shoddy ISP and cable telecom regulation, or lack thereof, is playing out in other countries around the world as well. In countries like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/blog\/new-cybersecurity-law-companies-china-will-store-connecting-ip-address-six-months\/\">China<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/blog\/tired-of-people-circumventing-social-media-blocks-turkey-calls-for-vpn-ban\/\">Turkey<\/a>, ISPs actively use deep packet inspection (DPI) to try and identify VPN use and block it. At least some parts of America are making a point to protect broadband privacy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two cities in Washington state, Tacoma and Seattle, have been leading America in introducing broadband privacy protections from cable companies at the city level.
