‘Don’t Subject Us All to the Same $%!#’
Tuesday almost every House Republican voted to allow your internet service provider (ISPs) to sell your browsing habits and history to the highest bidder. Since the Senate already passed the bill it’s on its way to President Donald Trump’s desk, awaiting his signature or veto.
“If the bill is signed into law, companies like Cox, Comcast, Time Warner, AT&T, and Verizon will have free rein to hijack your searches, sell your data, and hammer you with unwanted advertisements,” the Electronic Frontier Foundation says. “Worst yet, consumers will now have to pay a privacy tax by relying on VPNs to safeguard their information.”
Three organizations have joined together and purchased a full-page ad that ran in Wednesday’s print edition of The New York Times, possibly President Trump’s favorite nemesis.
The groups, KeepOurNetFree.org, SaveBroadbandPrivacy.org, and FightForTheFuture.org are listed on the bottom of the ad.
Urging a veto, the ad says, “Dear Mr. President, You just got spied on. Big League. You know what it’s like, you really do. Don’t subject us all to the same $%!#.”
The ad, below, was posted to Reddit and is now trending on the front page.
You can (and should!) call the White House to urge the President to veto this bill: (202) 456-1111.
