Okay. None of that contradicts my claim or makes this article any less untrue.

  it does contradict your claim though > it maintains the status quo No, it reverses the status quo. The "status quo" was that the FCC would regulate ISP's sale of consumers' data. There is now a climate for where we were before these rules were passed, ala: a business can be built upon schemes like supercookies without opt-in and other dark patterns

    You are deliberately misrepresenting my statement in order to cover up your own misrepresentations: in context, I was referring to the status quo of the law (or executive rules, I don't know if we're calling those laws this week or not). This is evidenced by my immediate reference to the phrase "no longer [need]"; not "no longer feel pressured" or "no longer take precaution" or "no longer desire", but no longer "need", i.e. be compelled by law.

      No, wrong again. The resolution prohibits the FCC from making rules like this in the future, so the legal climate itself is different. The threat of regulation doesn't hang over this shady-ass business anymore, and things like this don't happen in a vacuum. Your "fake news" claims are the greatest "misrepresentation" in this thread
