"This isn't about opposing privacy." I cannot accept that statement at face value. Supporting this is absolutely about opposing privacy. You are supporting a move whose only purpose is to lessen privacy. "There is a reasonable expectation to privacy people have but the privacy laws adapted by the FCC in the past have only been applied to ISPs and not other edge providers, such as Google or Skype. So in short, they are just bad laws." No, they aren't. They are very good laws. They're just not as broad as they could be. The proper response, if you feel this way, is to expand those privacy laws, not to remove the little protection consumers have. " Second, it also means that edge providers(Yahoo, Skype, Google) have an unfair advantage. " No, it absolutely does not. Mainly because ISPs are not competing with them. There is absolutely, positively zero reason why any ISP should need that data. None.
