Under the Obama administration in October 2016, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) established the privacy rule that "ISPs should not sell personal information such as browsing history to advertisers without user's consent". Operation of this rule has not yet begun, but before the actual operation began, the US Senate passed a bill to discard the privacy rules, the bill passed through the Senate and sent to the House of Representatives. It is known that Republican lawmakers who are the majority of the Senate have adopted voting behavior in accordance with the Party Council, and it is likely that the bill will be passed in the House of Representatives who also holds a majority.


The Republican Party has long been condemned "This privacy rule is a negative legacy established by the Obama administration just before the transition", and former Verizon Counsel Attorney who was appointed as a new chairperson of the Trump regime, Ajita Bi, chairman of the Republicans who is also a Republican, has blocked the enforcement of the Privacy Rule, so it is not actually operated. Bai Chairperson argues that FCC's privacy rules are unreasonable, as companies such as Google and Facebook can not sell user information without user consent under the privacy standards of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Senator Jeff Flake argues that "the FCC's privacy rules should be destroyed so that the Internet ecosystem's balance will regain and consumers will not be deceived."

On the other hand, Democrat Senator Ed Marquis said, "This vote gives the Senate Republicans that" confidential information "such as the health and economic situation of themselves and their families is sold to bidders with the highest price without permission It was allowed to be done "statementWe are criticizing the Republican policy by announcing it.

The bill passed through the Senate will be sent to the House and approved if President Donald Trump then signs.

The bill also passed through the House of Representatives. There was also the expectation that "President Trump is the last fortress", but since the Trump regime is a promoter of this bill, establishment is definite with this.
