    US Senate vote to allow ISP's to sell consumer data without consumer consent.

    Pretty fucked up. This comes from politicians who say they stand for the every day persons rights and liberties.
    But what are rights and liberties in the favor of deregulating companies and selling out consumers for profit? You just keep on telling yourselves that owning guns is somehow gonna help you keep your liberties and rights.

    Just remember, "corporations are people too". So when they say they stand for "every day persons rights and liberties", they dont mean you.

    I'm sure if they could talk with small print they would, and it would say "*may not include you"

    Ahahaha, what a joke. Seriously, governments should protect its people from corporations, not aid the corporations in fucking the people.

    I though this would explode with indignation and responses defending this action. I guess there's more interesting topics than one about how your personal data can now be sold without your consent...

    It would have been far better to put the same restrictions on Google and FB if they wanted uniformity.
