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.

Something did change.
The right for ISPs to abuse us was given back.
It doesn't matter that it was taken away a few months or 10 years ago.
What matters is we finally took it away and these assholes gave it back.
