Those poor, poor ISPs. How could they ever abuse our info again? Oh wait, they'll still be able to, because for one, they can still COLLECT all of our info, they just may get more slaps on the wrists and "huge" record-breaking $2 million fines, when they misuse that data and break these new rules.

Also FCC's new rules exempt law enforcement, so AT&T can still make money selling all of that collected data to law enforcement and the NSA for profit, just as they have in the past.

But yeah, other than that, what will the ISPs ever do to not go bankrupt? (I mean other than charging for their basic services at monopoly prices).
