Network privacy law

mercredi 19 juin 2019 à 02:00

Maine has adopted a network privacy law. Plutocratists in Congress will surely try to stop states from having such laws.

This law stops ISPs from selling their records of individuals' internet contacts, but that is far from adequate. They should not be allowed to track anyone's internet contacts, except under a specific court order.

The law also applies to platforms such as Facebook, which sounds good, but I expect Facebook will negate the law by requiring its useds to explicitly opt-in for this as a condition of starting an account.
