Why don't YOU tell me? While you're trying to find out, please explain to me how whatever you imagine it to be excuses more, of what you imagine it to be, by Internet providers. In other words, abuses by others therefore let's enable more abuses?

To what purpose? To make it a more competitive invasion of privacy fight?

The Electronic Frontier Foundation, a digital privacy rights group, warned that Tuesday’s vote would allow ISPs “to harvest your personal information in extraordinarily creepy ways,” pointing to past behavior. In 2011, for instance, AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile were caught selling phones with pre-installed software that tracked customers and sent the data, unbeknownst, back to the ISP.

Congress kills FCC's new broadband privacy rules

The U.S. House of Representatives voted Tuesday to overturn Federal Communications Commission rules on broadband privacy that provided strong consumer protections over the use of personal information.

Those rules, established five months ago and set to go into effect later this year, were written to block big internet service providers, or ISPs, such as Comcast and Verizon, from tracking customer’s browsing habits and selling the data to advertisers without consent. The effort was championed by former FCC chair Tom Wheeler, but opposed by current chair Ajit Pai.

The vote fell along mostly partisan lines in the House, as it previously did in the Senate, with the Republicans voting yes and Democrats voting no, by total of 215 to 205. If the president signs off — and he’s expected to — broadband privacy rules would fall back on the Federal Trade Commission, which critics, and some companies, contend is not legally mandated to regulate broadband providers.

"I want the American people to know that the FCC will work with the FTC to ensure that consumers’ online privacy is protected though a consistent and comprehensive framework," Pai said in a statement.
The FTC has regulatory authority to protect consumers in the face of unfair and deceptive business practices generally.

In 2015, the FCC gave itself more control over ISPs through its net neutrality rules — a move that the GOP perceived as a power grab. Their supporters in the telecom industry argue that the FCC’s rules are too strict and unevenly applied, complaining that internet search engines and social media sites, which also monetize personal data, are not held to the same standard.

The Electronic Frontier Foundation, a digital privacy rights group, warned that Tuesday’s vote would allow ISPs “to harvest your personal information in extraordinarily creepy ways,” pointing to past behavior. In 2011, for instance, AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile were caught selling phones with pre-installed software that tracked customers and sent the data, unbeknownst, back to the ISP.

Rep. Raul Ruiz, who represents the Coachella Valley, voted against the bill, but did not immediately return a request for comment.

Kevin Yoder, one of 15 Republicans to break ranks, said in a statement, “We don’t want the government having access to our information without our consent, and the same goes for private business.

These digital privacy protections put in place by the FCC are commonsense measures similar to long-standing rules that apply to phone companies that will simply ensure internet users can continue to have control over their personal information."
