Azalin Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Both linked threads cover FCC regulation/deregulation of the internet previously discussed here. Note also in the linked article that they say that ISPs will be getting the same access to customer data that both Google and Facebook already have. http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/191915-trump-planning-on-turning-internet-into-toll-road/?hl=internet http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/176388-a-regulated-and-taxed-internet/?hl=neutrality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note the WaPo headline - Landmark Privacy Protections If they are landmark, why aren't Goog & FB not subject to them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now they have to work on getting control of domains back from the UN. Seems silly that the one country that guarantees free speech gives it over to the UN. A outfit that does not. Censorship already happening. Facebook already working with Pakistan to shut down anyone being "blasphemous" . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanker Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Anyone who thinks their gmail/aolmail/macmail/Notesmail/Exchangemail...etc. accounts are private are idiots* Every email you've ever sent or received reside on multiple servers and are subject to data mining by the host. Every website you've ever been to even in private browsing mode is known to your ISP. EVERY site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD in CA Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Are these the same "landmark" protections the Obama Administration thought we could live without for 7 1/2 of his 8 years in office? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azalin Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Facebook already working with Pakistan to shut down anyone being "blasphemous" . Is Facebook working with Pakistan in order to further their business footprint in Pakistan, or are they in collusion with Pakistan to limit free speech in western nations?

Magox Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 So, even though these things have already been happening, the general consensus is that we don't like that they could potentially sell that browser data? Right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azalin Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Or is Facebook complying with Pakistani law? What a concept - complying with a sovereign nation's laws in order to do business within their borders. That sounds like it might catch on.... So, even though these things have already been happening, the general consensus is that we don't like that they could potentially sell that browser data? Right? When you use phrases like "wipe away landmark internet privacy protections" or "roll back Obama's (fill in the blank) laws" then I suppose a hue and cry from the knee-jerks is to be expected.
