If all goes well, everything you do on the Net, and pretty much everything about you, will be fair game for internet providers to sell to anyone. That means not only what web sites you visit, what products you buy, but who you are (minus your name) including your medical history.
The FCC put them in place in October, but they have not yet gone into effect.
The regulations would have required a company like Verizon to get approval before telling an advertiser what websites customers visited, what apps they used, their health and financial information, or their physical location. Under the regulations, many more people likely would have chosen not to allow their data to be shared than if they had to take an extra step of asking a company to stop sharing or selling their information.
Since Republicans don't believe in ones personal privacy, this shouldn't come as a surprise.
