Full of confidence in Ajit Pai – the new boss at the FCC, America's communications watchdog – groups representing US telcos are seeking a repeal of the regulator's privacy rules.
Citing the appointment of Pai and the imminent decision to roll back the previous administration's net neutrality protections, industry groups now hope that the little requirement for an opt-in for the collection of user data will be frozen, if not done away with completely.
[...] "For over twenty years, ISPs have protected their consumers' data with the strongest pro-consumer policies in the internet ecosystem," the group writes.
"ISPs know the success of any digital business depends on earning their customers' trust on privacy."

The leading contender for the French presidential election is in deep trouble, after a newspaper with a very register-like tone unearthed some quite unpleasant facts about his wife, kids, and consulting company (hundreds of thousands in shady/illegal income).
That newspaper already has quite an impressive list of trophies on its wall.
Sometimes it's a good thing to overlook the writing style and focus on the substance.
