Sasse, Ben [R-NE]<br>Sen. Tillis, Thom [R-NC]<\/p>\n<p>Of these 9 Senators, Sen. Cornyn, Sen. Cotton, Sen. Cruz, Sen. Lee, and Sen. Paul were also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/blog\/24-senators-introduced-bill-let-telecoms-sell-private-internet-history\/\">cosponsors on S.J. Res. 34<\/a>, legislation that stripped FCC online privacy protections away using the Congressional Review Act. All 9 cosponsors of this bill voted to do away with internet privacy in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/blog\/us-senate-votes-50-48-away-broadband-privacy-rules-let-isps-telecoms-sell-internet-history\/\">50-48<\/a> party line vote to dismantle FCC online privacy rules. Now, the same Senators and the same political forces are gathering to remove the FCC\u2019s ability to protect net neutrality.<\/p>\n<h2>Restoring Internet Freedom Act\u00a0has nothing to do with internet freedom<\/h2>\n<p>Remember to tell the FCC that destroying net neutrality is not \u201cRestoring Internet Freedom.\u201d Such an action, whether\u00a0voted on by the FCC next month or voted on by the US Senate and then House of Representatives, cannot pass. Net neutrality may be a complicated topic, especially for some of the politicians that seem to have zero grasp of how the Internet works. Increasingly, politicians, such as federal judge Brett\u00a0Kavanaugh, reveal that they don\u2019t know the difference between an ISP and an edge service provider.\u00a0In a dissenting court opinion about net neutrality, Kavanaugh showcased an utter lack of understanding regarding the Internet, and <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2017\/05\/01\/judge-argues-net-neutrality-violates-the-free-speech-rights-of-internet-providers\/?ncid=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">TechCrunch<\/a> rightly called him out on it, stating:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The conflation of telecommunications provider with edge provider, social media and press outlet is extremely disingenuous.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Misinformation is one of the favorite tools of Internet enemies. Lobbyists representing ISPs have previously tried to\u00a0claim to the FCC that internet browsing history and app usage data does not constitute \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/blog\/telecom-lobby-fcc-web-browsing-app-usage-history-not-sensitive-information\/\">sensitive information<\/a>,\u201d and therefore doesn\u2019t deserve protections. If either the FCC action or the Congressional action against net neutrality passes \u2013 the American internet experience will change \u2013 and likely not for the better.\u00a0When S. 993 comes to a vote, make sure to take note of which Senators vote which way. It is important to hold politicians accountable for their stances <em>and<\/em> their actions.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p
