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.

This. It is absolutely unacceptable the amount of power being given to corporations and the lack of any protection of privacy.
Guess I shouldn't be surprised with a senate full of treasoners like McCain and Graham.

Yes. I hate neocons. Be they John "NDAA detention without the 4th" McCain, Graham, Pelosi, or Reid.
But I am a greedy vengeful person who prefers freedom to corporate power and peace to war. Convenient how the same people tend to alwyas tow the line when it comes to ruining those things.
