Forgive my ignorance, I’ve not been keeping up with this story. Is this just a USA thing?
What way if any will affect non US residents?
- pkaye 9y agoDo you use any websites located in the US? What if they close down?
- briandear 9y agoAre we guilty of hyperbole?
- warent 9y agoA quick internet search should sort this out for you. It's been articulated ad nauseum
- twsted 9y ago“Ad nauseam” but we should never be bored by these arguments.
- maccam94 9y agoIt potentially reduces the ability for new web companies to succeed in reaching US consumers. It will also enable ISP's to extort existing web companies and lead to higher prices for consumers.
- discordance 9y agoJust like with the NSA wiretapping, if you’re not a US citizen you don’t count for much (not that it protected US citizens very much). Your data has probably been sold a hundred time over already by US companies.
- bo1024 9y agoThis is from quite a bit earlier in 2017. It is just a USA thing, Congress overturned FCC privacy rules, so now internet service providers in the USA are allowed to sell their subscribers' browsing data to third parties. (Edit: Amazingly the four previous people who responded to you seem to have all gotten it wrong)
