So what the hell do we do, do we all go to VPNs, and other potentially shady/illegal methods to circumvent ISPs collecting data? I can say to Comcast, "go to hell" and they can't do anything about it. I hate the government, esp. big government like this. Because right now, it's probably inevitable that it'll be signed in to law, despite how many times we write our congressmen, gah, I just want to scream in their faces. Fucking stupid politicians.
Almost every state PUC (Public utility commission) in the country already has authority to regulate ISP data collection and does so. They lose that authority if the FCC takes it over.
It's a four month old regulation, being repealed as a check on the FCC who is no saint or friend to privacy or other freedoms in general. This law creates NOTHING new. It's getting rid of a 4 MONTH OLD REGULATION on the basis the FCC should not be the one with that authority. The sky is not falling.
