Am I the only one who barely cares about this? I don't go on anything illegal so its not bothersome. Can't people use VPNs anyway?
not really, i don't care about it too much and i'm more annoyed about the fact that half the websites i visit now have a massive header reading 'YOU FAILED AMERICA' or some obnoxious banner at the top of the page about it
should we be severely worried or
from what i can tell, probably not severely, at least not as worried as a lot of people are trying to make it
under obama, the FTC issued a rule stating that internet providers had to provide something like that of an opt out option for their subscribers. if subscribers chose to opt out, the providers couldn't sell the data for said subscribers. so, this basically meant internet providers had different rights than software/service providers with respect to data. then, congress made use of the CRA of 1996 to override that rule, since it had no real premise in any congressional authorized law, and it looks like it's pretty much what Annoying Orange signed
only thing that's actually gonna happen/happened from what i can tell is that the use of data by ISPs has reverted to what they were prior to obama's time
both sides have overly confused and muddled the situation here
e; i'll add that personally i was alright with the rule and was hoping they wouldn't get rid of it, but with that said, it's not the disaster a lot of people are making it out be, it's just taking us back to what was already allowed before obama
