So President Trump signed the no-privacy-for-you resolution by both Houses of Congress (cheering or running-away-and-hiding may commence; they did something!) thus rolling back the former Administration’s rules intended to force Internet service providers (ISPs) to keep data private unless subscribers opted in. That means ISPs can track customer Internet usage and sell the data without asking anyone. This brings ISPs (finally) onto equal legal ground with the behemothic edge companies (you know, those Internet guys who don’t pay … yet … for transmission costs but already sell or use all of yours and my data).
Privacy? What’s That?
