Today, the United States Senate voted to pass a joint resolution dismantling online privacy protections created by the Federal Communications Commission’s 2016 <\/span>Broadband Privacy Order<\/a> by way of the Congressional Review Act<\/a>. This bill not only terminates the FCC’s privacy rules but also prevents the agency from creating similar privacy protections in the future.<\/p>\n

The following can be attributed to Dallas Harris, Policy Fellow at Public Knowledge:<\/span><\/p>\n

“With less than 10 hours of ‘consideration,’ the Senate took the first step to eliminating a rule that put consumers in control of their data online. This vote is a clear sign that American interests come second to those of broadband providers. In a world where everything is increasingly digital, now there will be no rules preventing ISPs from selling your web browsing history without your permission — covering everything from the apps you use to your smarthome devices.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Without the FCC’s broadband privacy rules, Americans go from being internet users to marketing data — from people to the product. The Senate just used the Congressional Review Act to weaken consumer privacy online. Americans won’t forget.”<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
