The Senate just voted to undo landmark rules covering your Internet privacy

U.S. senators voted 50 to 48 to approve a joint resolution from Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) that would prevent the Federal Communications Commission's privacy rules from going into effect. The resolution also would bar the FCC from ever enacting similar consumer protections. It now heads to the House.

    If you're not using Tor all the time then chances are that scumsucking advertising firms already have more than enough information about you

    Just because somebody has been punching me, doesn't mean I should be OK with more people punching me.

    It is clear that there is a certain segment of users on this site whose goal is to normalize fascism. Some may be paid, others are brainwashed fools, victims of chance and circumstance.

    I'm sure many will be happy to see me go, and that day may come soon. Empty words in the digital ocean, likely having no impact on reality.
