US President Donald Trump signed a resolution on Monday that officially repeals Obama-era broadband privacy rules.
White House press secretary Sean Spicer said that laws stopping the sale of people’s most private internet history were ‘red tape’
The signature of Donald Trump now means USA ISPs Can Sell Your Data Without Consent
Donald Trump’s signature comes a few days after both houses of Congress narrowly voted to stop the rules, which were adopted last year but had not yet taken effect. The rules would have required broadband and wireless companies to get your permission before sharing sensitive information about you, including websites you visit, the apps you open and even your physical location.
Those FCC regulations were the strictest ever been imposed to protect consumer online privacy. Even though the rules only included broadband and wireless providers, and excluded internet companies like Google and Facebook, proponents saw it as a first step in giving consumers more control of their personal data online.
Meanwhile, internet service providers said the regulations were too strict and unfairly singled out broadband providers, because they required broadband companies to adhere to a more stringent privacy standard than internet companies must follow.
In repealing the rules, Republicans used the Congressional Review Act, a tool that enables lawmakers to expedite bills to reverse recent regulations. The Act also prohibits the Federal Communications Commission from adopting similar rules in the future.
