Campaign Action
Hey, all you Twitter eggs out there so happily disrupting the system and helping to get popular vote loser Donald Trump into the White House to stick it to the man, or whatever. Wave good-bye to your internet privacy, courtesy of your "president."
President Trump signed into law a resolution that repealed protections requiring Internet service providers to get your permission before collecting and sharing data. These protections—which had not yet gone into effect—were approved by the Federal Communications Commission in the final days of the Obama administration.
The providers have data on your web browsing history, app usage and geo-location.
Providers would also have been required to notify customers about the types of information collected and shared.
Members of Reddit‘s r/The_Donald subgroup already have been freaking out over the fact that their hero really doesn't care about them and would betray them so.
“It’s taking us in the wrong direction,” writes one user in a popular comment. “We should be limiting the kind of data, not just saying ‘Hey those apps get more data then I doooo Not fair!’ Then say here you go Comcast, Verizon, and other companies that have been known to screw us over all the time. We’re going to give you power over us even more.”
Wait until the rest of his shrinking fanbase finds out he's ultimately responsible for the spam they will now find themselves awash in. It's going to dawn on them that he wasn't telling them the truth about how he was going to stick up for the little guy. That's going to be bad news for all of the Republicans who made this happen, starting with Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake who introduced the resolution in the Senate, and who also happens to be up for re-election in 2018. How convenient for us.
