Don't let Congress Undermine Our Online Privacy#^Don't let Congress Undermine Our Online PrivacyThe FCC put in place critical broadband privacy protection rules late last year to protect your right to privacy online. Now, some members of Congress are looking to completely erase those rules. Even worse: The method they would use -- passing a Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolution to repeal the rules -- would ban the FCC from ever writing similar privacy rules.
And, because of the current legal landscape, the Federal Trade Commission is already barred from policing Internet service providers. So if Congress
repeals the rules, there will be no clear federal cop on the beat for the privacy of your Internet connection.
Call your representatives in Congress and tell them to oppose the CRA resolution to repeal the FCC's privacy rules.
