    Congress voted to overturn Internet privacy rules...


    I'm watching the Senate channel [C-Span2] and they're holding a vote to repeal the privacy rules passed in 2016:
    Right now it's: 40 Aye - 39 Nay , with a simple majority to over turn. Nay is good for us, the user.

    I'll edit post when finished.

    Senate voted to remove the limits 50 aye 48 nay....*Sad

    Update, resolution goes to House:

    VPN use sets off Repeated Microsoft account security alert

    Thank you Lov, this is very helpful. It confirms what I thought was happening. However, it does not solve my problem. With the continued infringement upon Internet privacy more and more people are turning to VPN's, especially in light of the recent Internet
    protections repeal by Congress. How are people going to be able to protect themselves going forward? (Retorical question.) It appears that I must make a choice between my VPN or Microsoft Alerts.

    Thank you for your information.

  5. YES this sucks ! I figured that the Senate was so busy trying to get all of Trumps Cabinet appointee's approved, that they didn't have time to do anything else. My BAD ! I would really like to know which compainies sent each member a check last month to get this done ?

    Good or bad Congress is suppose to set the rules as they have passed Telecommunications acts a few times setting the rules.
    They do not want the President (Obama) or the FCC setting rules they were not authorized to do.

  9. I'm surprised that anyone is surprised by this.

    In so called democracies, the first thing any victorious side does is spend the first half of its term, destroying what the other side did during the last half of their term.

    Politicians need to repay their Corporate paymasters for the election funds they received.

    I'm surprised that they haven't tried to pass a ban on ad blockers.

  10. The US is not really a Democracy, it is a Constitutional Republic or a Democratic Republic.

  14. Sorry but I have respect for the President of my Country, no matter who it is. I also have respect for the office of The President. For this reason I will not discuss
    politics in a Technical forum.

  15. I'm aware of that (Australia is similar).

    Try getting politicians to admit it in front of the media.
