Surely this doesn't apply to "private browsing" or "incognito" mode!
I guess if the CIA can do it why not corporations
In! 4 later...
Wow! this has major implications.

US Senate votes to let internet providers share your web browsing history without permission
PIA ran this in the NYT today:
Also an amazing write-up by Quincy Larson from FreeCodeCamp:
1. The future of the open internet — and our way of life — is in your hands (the basis of my SXSW talk - 24 minute read): The future of the open internet — and our way of life — is in your hands (***Highly Recommend you TMMC take the time to read this when you can***)
2. What the CIA WikiLeaks dump tells us: encryption really works (5 minute read): What the CIA WikiLeaks dump tells us: Encryption works
3. I'm listening to "Data and Goliath" by Bruce Schneier. He's the world's foremost expert on computer security. Here's a profound quote from his book: "I used to joke that Google knew more about me than my wife did. But now I realize that Google knows more about me than I do."

This will have MAJOR implications on every American who uses the Internet and the majority of the public have no clue the relevance.

So the gubmint knows about my predilection for watching pornhub on my cellphone while driving?
The 265 members of Congress who sold you out to ISPs, and how much it cost to buy them
this article lists everyone that voted for the measure and how much they were each personally bribed to pass it.

This is bullshit, you fucks got sold out hard.
What in the fuck is the point of this? Is it really a well guarded secret that we mostly use it for looking at porn?
Doesn't Google and Amazon already do this shit?
It can't be a coincidence that I see advertisements on websites for shit I was just searching for on Amazon. Actually - here's the weird part: I don't see them from my home computer where I searched for the items because I have AdBlocker. But I'll see them pop up on my work computer the following day (no adblocker). The fuck is up with that shit?
So what's the big deal? Tell me why I should be pissed when it's basically already happening.

Depends on how you use the internet, but if every piece of data that leaves your computer can be monitored, that's immensely fucked up.
This reflects the wisdom of Vint Cerf, Bob Khan, J. C. R. Licklider, and all the wizards who stayed up late and pioneered the internet.
Fucking bullshit that they didn't give Al Gore his props.
I'm reading through some of the links provided in here.
My guess is if it CAN be monitored, and the powers that be WANT to monitor it - it's going to be monitored. Whether we know about it or not.
This was a good read.
Surprised they didn't mention Splinty and his censorship of the word faggot. (f@ggot)
Applying that same logic, why bother passing a law? I'm a big supporter of civil liberties. Think of it this way. Would you let a cop just root through your car because they felt like it?
If I didn't have anything in there, probably. Haha. When the cops are fucking with me I typically choose the path of least resistance so I can get along my merry way.
But I get your point - if it isn't a big deal then why bother passing a law at all? Fuck em.
ATTICA!!!
Just curious.... is there anyone who supports this?
The Republican party doesn't care about your privacy and thinks the govt should be involved in your personal details apparently.

That seems unsafe. Better get a VR headset
Republicans will make sure they invade that space too.
I thought Republicans were all about personal privacy, freedom and less govt involvement?
