Trump talking to the Building Trades Union about Infrastructure improvement, and the pain in the ass it is just to get the permits to build something.



This is definitely Trumps baileywick, talking business and building stuff.

It needs to be done, with a chainsaw...

U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday signed a repeal of Obama-era broadband privacy rules, the White House said, a victory for internet service providers and a blow to privacy advocates.

Republicans in Congress last week narrowly passed the repeal of the privacy rules with no Democratic support and over the strong objections of privacy advocates.

The signing, disclosed in White House statement late on Monday, follows strong criticism of the bill, which is a win for AT&T Inc, Comcast Corp and Verizon Communications Inc.

The bill repeals regulations adopted in October by the Federal Communications Commission under the Obama administration requiring internet service providers to do more to protect customers' privacy than websites like Alphabet Inc's Google or Facebook Inc.

The rules had not yet taken effect but would have required internet providers to obtain consumer consent before using precise geolocation, financial information, health information, children's information and web browsing history for advertising and marketing.

FCC Chairman Ajit Pai praised the repeal in a statement late on Monday for having “appropriately invalidated one part of the Obama-era plan for regulating the internet." Those flawed privacy rules, which never went into effect, were designed to benefit one group of favored companies, not online consumers."

The bolded parts are my highlights but this really does suck. Looks like Trump isn't looking out for that "little guy" by signing this into law.

Actually nothing changes...

The rules had not yet taken effect but would have required internet providers to obtain consumer consent before using precise geolocation, financial information, health information, children's information and web browsing history for advertising and marketing.

The part you didn't bold... things are still going on like they used to, nothing changed... the companies till this day were still doing exactly what this bill was going to stop.

You just need to learn how to protect your information, perhaps not trusting people may be the first step?

So, how does repealing this legislation is going to make my life better?

You, it won't. Neither would have having it made your life better. You have nothing to hide with your browser history whereas people like me would be fired 9/10 times and disqualified from a decent job just for browsing "Nazi" sites.

The FCC was never designed to have the kind of authority that they assumed for themselves under those recent regulations. The FCC's original intent was quite literally, censorship. As much as those regulations look good to me personally, I have to admit that it's not their job and they shouldn't be assuming roles that don't belong to them when their literal job is censorship.

Ah, the old, "you have nothing to hide with....." yeah, okay so let's see here- if my employer can access my browsing history and finds out that I am going to sites like "monster.com" or even indeed.com etc... they can assume that I am looking for another job but haven't told them. Then they can confront me about it at my place of work and something like this can happen:

"So, it looks like you are looking for a new job- are you happy here? If you are not happy then your fired..."

I mean an employer can literally fire you for anything that isn't related to political, race, religion, gender-related, and/or if they wanted you to commit a crime and you refused to- but other than those things they can literally fire you for anything unless you have a union to protect you. I mean they can fire with cause or without cause and I would rather not have my employer finding out that I enjoy watching a show like Rick and Morty. I feel that the less they know about me the better. I am not committing any crimes but I do want privacy because I like privacy. I mean I use the bathroom but I always close and lock the door when I am using it. It's literally the same concept here.

If the FCC didn't want ISPs to sell your data then good for them and I could give shit about what they were originally intended for.

[TheReal_ND]

You have a point, I mean the fact you're unhealthy will get you fired, wait no it won't. The AFCA changed that. Well the fact you are looking for a job could get you fired, or a raise; I guess if you got a shitty job they will cut you loose for the lulz. But if they know you watch a show on cable TV surely that will get you fired perhaps right? Nah I think not.

The FCC wanted this grounds for regulation and guppies like you suck their dicks. Fuck off back to reddit with your liberal narrative bull shit.

On the changes to the internet legislation I think John C. Dvorak nails it again. Nothing has changed. The law wasn't even implemented. It's against the FCC regulation. It was brought about by Google and others who are already collecting the data and don't want competition. No reason to get worked up. Carry on.

My history on the internet goes back over twenty years.
Let's start the bidding process.
Can I get a dollar?
Do I see a dollar?
Come on, people--thousands of games of chess for your perusal--one dollar?
Spades, Hearts, archives of stupid personal opinions... anyone?

You're not really being offered a position at the table unfortunately.
