Facebook paid for these ads because they don't want ISPs cutting in on their data selling marketshare they've been dominating for 7 years unopposed.

Fine by me. It's a lot more inconvenient to opt out of the internet than to just never using facebook. I don't like facebook, but common enemies can make for some strange bedfellows.
Petition to sign if you want. I doubt these do much of anything they didn't change Obama's mind on anything.

The ad conflates the recording & dissemination of content with something that is not that. I hate that kind of sophistry. There are reasons to veto this law, but being dishonest about it is not going to impress me. He would be better off encouraging dig once polices so that we can choose our ISPs for this and many other reasons.

This should have been put on Fox & Friends or Brietbart. Think he reads the NYT?

I believe this is one of the few times anyone in a newspaper has acknowledged the whole wiretapping thing against Trump. I can't help but wonder if the only reason they did this is because they're crapping on a bunch of Republican legislators.
Mind you I don't support privacy invasion of any sort, but it seems a little bit too politically advantageous to acknowledge it for this one thing and then go back to screaming about Trump being the center of a huge Russian conspiracy.
