it's okay to put these here? If not, happy to delete (not providing link, unless requested to!)

So by and large..."do not want!":

“Republicans claim the FCC’s rules confuse customers because they only cover internet providers and not websites like Google and Facebook.”

What exactly was confusing?

Exactly- that is what hte guests were speaking about on fox new’s ‘Happening Now’ show-

They made the case that a woman involved in a divorce could get damaging info on her husband without him knowing about it or giving permission now- or vice versa- and that hackers and identity thieves could access very personal info through the ISP’s who will now sell the info to the highest bidders-

IF this goes through- it’s gonna be bad-

IF it does go through- watch how fast the liberals all of a sudden become so concerned about privacy again- Right now they are tryign to cover up obama spying on Americans- but if this new bill goes through- you will see them all of a sudden feinting fro mthe vapors over Internet privacy violations lol

THis vote removes a regulation (that has not even gone into effect yet) that stops ISPs from selling your data while allowing websites/browsers to continue to do so...

What did the senate do? They cancelled a pending change that would have required users of ISPs to specifically opt into any collection or sale of data for marketing purposes. Presently, you can opt out of such programs.
The vote was to not change the system and push through a rule to increase the value of Google and Facebook which wouldn't have to get separate affirmative permission.

It should be noted that almost every ISP’s TOS outlines what marketing data can be collected and sold and when you approve the TOS, you approved that collection.

TLDR: They cancelled a future rule, nothing changed from before the senate action to today.

People committed suicide over that joke of a web site “Ashley Madison”.

Imagine every web site everyone ever visited becoming available to the world.
