The Senate just voted to undo landmark rules covering your Internet privacy

Well of course we want big business to have complete access our privacy information.

As bad as government network security is, industry security is much worse, which is good...right?

What better way to control the working class/middle class American than to give her/his privacy data to big corporations that won't need silly little things like FISA warrants to look into our privacy. It makes it easier for the Feds also, instead of the complicated FISA process, federal agents can use the very simple 18 U.S. Code § 2703 process (little known but one of the most powerful federal law enforcement tools in the information age).

As side benefit this essentially gives our privacy data to countries like China (which likes to purchase big US businesses), not mention other countries... including Russia.

Aren't 'customer service people' for massive corporations just the nicest and most intelligent people?

Just out of curiosity, how do you get internet if you're in a dead zone? Crazy strong signal booster?

Big business has assumed total control!

Ah I don't know if customer service people for huge corporations are nice people or not , it takes an act of congress to get a live 'human type people' on the line. and I've always run out of patients long before congress gets involved .

I use my land line to access the web .

They usually aren't. Considering that woman was trying to sell you on services you can neither use or would use, you could tell that she wasn't trying to listen to what you had to say.

Nice. Old school. Does it make the dial-up sound too?

I have the modem speakers turned off . If it does i don't need to hear that scratchy sound .

Ohh - the nostalgia of modem-dialing and scratchy screech of connecting


Almost as wonderful as the smell of new vinyl records!

Lets not forget the 'slow as molasses in winter' speed ,,,,zoom zoom << NOT <<


Let me add , the life style of , no neighbors, no crime, no traffic , no stress and the added bonus of I have no where to go and all day long to get there . A scratchy noise and a slow connection ,, I can deal with it ..
