https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2017/03/senate-votes-to-let-isps-sell-your-web-browsing-history-to-advertisers Haven't seen a thread for this yet. Basically they rolled back restrictions set in place by the FCC that said ISPs have to get your permission to sell your browsing data (web history, browsing data, etc). If you're wondering why the title is "Republican senators" instead of all senators, its because literally the only people who voted yes for this were republicans and the only people who voted no were Dems and independents. https://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=115&session=1&vote=00094#position /discuss |

So is this information specifically tied to a person? I.e. the purchaser of the information gets information that they can link to me? Or is it depersonalised data? |
