An activist is pissed about Congress’ efforts to roll back internet privacy rules. And he’s got a sly plan for revenge.
A cheeky advocate of online privacy wants to take the lid off of Congress’ web-browsing habits.
Politicians can dish it out. But can they take it?
That’s the thinking behind a clever online campaign that protests Tuesday’s vote by House Republicans to pull the plug on internet privacy rules.
As you may’ve heard, lawmakers voted largely along party lines to approve a resolution that wipes out privacy rules passed last year by the Federal Communications Commission. The resolution has already cleared the Senate, and President Donald Trump is expected to make it official with his signature.
If that happens, critics say, the companies you pay for internet access will be able to sell your web browsing history to marketers and others. Yup, including mention of that unmentionable site you checked out last night.
