Ahh well, case of rye, case of rye.

   

Update: The house just voted and approved the bill that violates privacy of the US. It only requires trumps signature now. DO you think he will sign it?

Of course he will. Removing the choice to opt-in to the sharing of a person's internet history is a bold move for freedom of choice and allows the ISPs to continue to innovate in the field of direct advertising to their subscribers thereby increasing revenues!

But seriously, how can any Republican say they are about personal rights and freedom, when they do shit like this?

   

Basically i think they just want to make policies that help their corporate friends make more money

   

Whaaaat? The US government made of millionaires and billionaires wants to turn citizens into consumers to increase corporate profits? I totally didn't see that coming.

I guess the cynic in me assumes that Trump shorts stock like Boeing before dissing them on twitter, then buys more stock before he lifts them back up again.

But since he'll never publish his business interests, we'll never know. It's not illegal, it's just cheap.

   

People keep saying that he would be impeached soon because of stuff like this and his other controversial words and actions but nothing will happen to him

   

Things like this aren't impeachable. And it wasn't him who changed ISP rules, it was Congress.

He might be impeached. Vegas bookies give 1:2 odds that he will be impeached in 2017. But not for this.

   

Good God where have you been the last decade or so? None of them are, their thinking has been perverted into whatever right and freedom YOU have, takes away mine!

   

In a fun twist, there is a crowdfunding project to raise funds to buy all the history of the politicians who voted for this, and publish that history along with intimate details such as their SSN's online.

i wonder what we will find in their history

   

Ought to be fucking hilarious when all the sick-in-the-head alt-right freaks at 4Chan and Reddit who voted for Trump ("dude, we just got a meme elected as President") get bombarded under their real names with endless spam for Japanese hentai character fuck pillows and blow-up dolls. That's right, assholes, he doesn't care at all about your privacy and looks at you as just another bunch of marks for his carny bullshit sales routine.

   

Some updated information that I've gleaned. Canadian ISPs cannot sell personally identifiable information without your consent. They can sell generic information. Bell for example sells 'profiles' that companies can use to advertise to you if you visit their websites.

Combining this information with other information can be used by the company to re-identify you, so Bell specifically limits this in it's data sharing agreements. Doesn't stop it from happening, just covers Bell's ass if it does.

The article is old. Maybe things have changed?

   

Yes. Things have stepped up. The article is a good primmer for the concept of browser fingerprinting. There are techniques now to track you across multiple browsers.
