How do y'all feel about our congress people passing and Trump signing into law the bill allowing internet providers to sell your internet surfing history to the highest bidder and apparently there is nothing you can do about it. They took the special interest groups money and sold the voters down the stream. Don't reelect any of them.

Jt, that horse has already run across the county before anyone ever got around to slamming the gate. The NSA already knows about the p*orn you've been to as well:

The House of Representatives voted Tuesday to repeal Internet privacy protections that were approved by the Federal Communications Commission in the final days of the Obama administration, following a Senate vote last week to roll back the rules.

You were already on lists before the rules were changed and if the ISPs didn't sell your information in the past, they probably aren't going to now. Also the rule doesn't apply to those sites that you visit, just your internet provider. And I should also tell you, if you mistyped an address and went somewhere strange and exotic, you could also be on another list from the Ol'bama days:

They already know where you go and what you do!! You read what Stanky posted and try to understand that! So again, tell us in your own words, how this means a "greedy congress"???? I look at dog clippers on Pet Smarts site, and now the dog clipper "ads" jump up in other places I go. You never have and never will have privacy on the web.
