US Senate Votes to Kill Privacy Rights, Allow Internet Providers to Sell Consumer Data

ACLU Legislative Counsel Neema Singh Guliani issued the following statement:

“It is extremely disappointing that the Senate voted today to sacrifice the privacy rights of Americans in the interest of protecting the profits of major internet companies, including Comcast, AT&T, and Verizon. The resolution would undo privacy rules that ensure consumers control how their most sensitive information is used. The House must now stop this resolution from moving forward and stand up for our privacy rights.”
