On Tuesday the Senate passed a bill that will allow Internet service providers to sell your search history without your consent. I do not know a whole lot about the subject but from what I have read there was legislation passed last year the required Internet Service Providers to get your consent before they sold your search history and Web activity to a third-party.
If Google or whoever wants to sell my information to Cabela's, Guitar Center, Home Depot... I am fine with that. I have become numb to targeted advertising. However, I am concerned about my employer being able to see that I visited the career page of a competitor or a stranger knowing where I do my online banking or where my son goes to daycare.
Does this law accomplish anything other than increasing revenues for AT&T, Verizon, suddenlink...at the expense of personal privacy?
I was unable to find any articles from the MSM on this story. But here is one link.
