Actually, privacy rules continue to be the same as before Trump (since Obama pulled the FTC's authority over broadband, anyway).
No element of that rule change, implemented weeks after the election, could possibly have taken effect before next December. (There are complex notification requirements that could push parts of it out even longer).
- brantg 10y agoGood point. So if this passes, nothing changes.
- DrScump 10y agoIf the bill becomes law, the existing Obama-era rules stay in place, but the one difference is that the limitation is encoded in statute law as opposed to just an administrative rule... so another act of Congress (another passed and signed bill) would be necessary to override it.
