Flake's article is full of spin. The FCC declaring ISPs common carriers wasn't about "stealing" regulatory control over privacy from the FTC, it was the only way they could make headway on net neutrality. If Congress wanted to give responsibility for this back to the FTC, that's what they should be voting on, this doesn't do that. Using the rollback is just lazy.
Edit: Oh, and Telecom Services was the largest donor industry to Flake's leadership PAC (not necessarily corruption, donors give money to politicians who already agree with them too).
