FOR SALE: Your internet browsing history

President Donald Trump signed legislation 4/3/2017 killing privacy rules that would have required internet service providers, broadband and other telecommunications services to get your explicit consent before they share or sell your web browsing history and other sensitive information.

The rules were approved in the final months of President Barack Obama’s administration but hadn’t taken effect yet. Under the bill Trump signed they never will – and the FCC isn’t allowed to try to pass new rules.

The FCC regulates ISPs and the FTC regulates services such as Facebook, Uber and Google.
