Not for this at all. The only time 'big government' applies anymore as being bad is when 'big companies' want to shaft people. I would be fine with this bill if it ended cable monopoly's on internet in multiple areas.

Peyton must store oxygen in that forehead of his. No way I'd still be alive after all that choking.

 

Sad thing is, it's hard to actually find any sort of reasoning to how this is good for the citizens of this country.

It just sucks that the worst kind of people represent the rest of us. In an ideal world, the best and brightest would lead us - not the absolute scum of the earth.

Funny I'm all for privacy but you want to bark at privacy start with the NSA and the police state. Regardless of any regulation of course for profit isp are selling and recording your data they just had you sign off on it in that text of terms and conditions.

Big Data is a big deal in marketing, it's why I worry about how much it's invading health care. If the public knew or cared what CMS is implementing and how private insurers are on their boot heels we'd be rioting over the invasion.
