Big Brother to spy on our internet history and ISP address without a warrant (Updated)
Fight For The Future warns, by using the CRA to gut the FCC broadband privacy rules, lawmakers voted to allow ISPs to:
Monitor and sell customer’s location data, search history, app usage, and browsing habits to advertisers without your permission
Hijack customer’s search results, redirecting their traffic to paying third parties
Insert ads into web pages that would otherwise not have them
Evan Greer, campaign director of Fight for the Future warns"Gutting these privacy rules won’t just allow Internet Service Providers to spy on us and sell our personal information, it will also enable more unconstitutional mass government surveillance..."
The Electronic Frontier Foundation warns...
Should President Trump sign S.J. Res. 34 into law, big Internet providers will be given new powers to harvest your personal information in extraordinarily creepy ways. They will watch your every action online and create highly personalized and sensitive profiles for the highest bidder. All without your consent.
