Here Are the Republicans Who Sold Out Your Online Privacy to the Broadband Industry

A public service message from Motherboard.

House Republicans voted on Tuesday to allow internet service providers like Comcast, Verizon and AT&T to sell your private data to the highest bidder for tracking and marketing purposes.

The House action follows a similar vote in the Senate last week. President Trump is expected to sign the measure, which will kill FCC rules requiring ISPs to obtain "opt-in" consent from consumers before using or selling sensitive user data, including online browsing activity, mobile app data, and the contents of emails and online chats.

As a public service, Motherboard is publishing the names of the GOP lawmakers who voted for the privacy rollback, which consumer advocates called a shameful corporate give-away to the nation's largest broadband companies.

1. A new group should be put together whose sole purpose

should be to take advantage of the Republicans destroying internet privacy to go after everything that can be found out about the Republicans and making their lives hell on earth. Rip away the privacy of what they have been hiding from us, particularly communications that would make them look really bad to the public. Shine a spotlight on them!
