Internet Privacy Issue

[Sean]

And who are the experts that guide them in the writings of these regulations?

It's not the little guys trying to earn larger market share, but the big guys protecting market share.

It was the big guys that lobbied for the rules on internet privacy to be removed. So they bought a load of Republican Reps and Senators and got it done.

From The Hill:

The White House has said that it supports the bill.

The opposition to the regulations was led by Republicans and the telecom industry, who argue that they are too costly and confusing. They say the rules would have subjected internet service providers to restrictions that do not apply to websites like Facebook and Google, which also collect consumer information for data-driven ads.

“The FCC didn’t embrace a technology-neutral framework for privacy,” Jon Leibowitz, co-chair of the industry group 21st Century Privacy Coalition, said in a call with reporters Tuesday.

In other words, the rule written by Democrats protected their cronies...

“It instead set out an overbroad definition of sensitive data that doesn’t apply to non-ISP’s collecting as much or more personal data online. And as we all know, privacy shouldn’t be about who collects information, it should be about what information is collected and how it is used.”


So are our concerns really about privacy, or resistance to Republicans?

Not that surprised. Republicans gave us the ironically named Patriot Act.

And all the lefties here cried about it until Obama expanded it and used it to start summarily executing citizens without due process via weapons of war.


Then it was totally cool and hella bad ass yo!!YAY PATRIOT ACT!!! (D)'s love it!

When Chelsea expands this shit to whore out peoples DNA sequencing information and medical records directly so everyone can use it against them this too will be A-O-K 100% supported and hella bad ass just like the PATRIOT act was.

No good.

Any Right Wingers wanna defend or do you condemn?

Defend.

Read the fine print....nobody is forcing you to use their services.

Yet according to several here it is the democrats that are the corporate stooges.

They do it too.

There is no defense of this. Just how like how they want to be able to allow companies to charge for premium access while shunting the regular folks onto a crowded "highway" with slower service.

Total defense of that too, you don't have a right to internet services....they should be able to sell you whatever service package they want to offer, if you don't like it fuck off and buy from someone else.

And yet the democrats have put up and supported more regulations and controls than the republicans who go on anti-regulatory sprees regardless of need, logic or the American will.

The democrats aren't perfect - nothing is - but they are actually interested in performing the tasks of governance.

They put up regulations and controls that funnel all the market/money into their pockets.

They don't give a fuck about governace, they are there to get paid too.

It was the big guys that lobbied for the rules on internet privacy to be removed. So they bought a load of Republican Reps and Senators and got it done.

Oh look another dumb fuck who thinks that ONLY happens in the GOP and NEEEEEEEEEVER in the (D) camp.

Jesus fuckin' christ I haven't seen this much partisan hackery since.....ever.


Everyone thinks their team is just WONDERFUL and altruistic, pure as the driven snow!!

Anyone on the other team is just stupid and anyone calling both teams full of shit is just a lunatic.

I gotta hand it to the elites....they got a good thing going LOL
