But now, the Republican controlled Congress decided that it’s okay for internet providers to sell your internet browsing history to whomever they want to. (They got rid of Obama era internet privacy protections.) Even worse, this new laws says that internet providers no longer have to protect customer information from hackers and thieves. Whew! Say again??? What??? Yup! It’s all true!! Ain't unregulated capitalism great? We pay for this type of service??
