Posted this in the other thread on v/all:

Apparently 4chan is disputing the MSM spin on this. May be Fake News, or heavy spin. And with Lamewad posting this with a heavy anti-right slant, I wouldn't take the OP viewpoint as gospel.

Also, I had to go to fucking Reddit /kia to get another angle on this. Holy shit VOAT is going to crap. Fucking libtards and shills are all over v/all.

I posted this in another thread so I guess I'll post it in this one also. I got this off of a 4chan thread about this so it's not mine and you should take it with a grain of salt until someone else confirms it;

Transparency. Recognizing the fundamental importance of transparency to enable consumers to make informed purchasing decisions, we require carriers to provide privacy notices that clearly and accurately inform customers about what confidential information the carriers collect, how they use it, under what circumstances they share it, and the categories of entities with which they will share it. We also require that carriers inform their customers about customers’ rights to opt in to or opt out (as the case may be) of the use or sharing of their confidential information. We require that carriers present their privacy notice to customers at the point of sale, and that they make their privacy policies persistently available and easily accessible on their Web sites, applications, and the functional equivalents thereof. Finally, consistent with FTC best practices and with the requirements in the CPBR, we require carriers to give their customers advance notice of material changes to their privacy policies.)

Find the transcript of the discussion of the vote by clicking on "All Actions" in the congress.gov page about the vote and opening all links (example: https://www.congress.gov/congressional-record/volume-163/senate-section/page/S1925)))) Skim through the transcript to find out what the vote is really about (in this case, whether the FCC or FTC should govern privacy rules

Anybody got the 4chan link?

Bit of extra commentary:

So the proposal was more about deciding which agency sets the rules for privacy, rather than letting ISPs do anything with that information without informing the consumer?

Pretty much, but you cannot preemptively bash Trump then.

basically, the new obama put in the new FCC regulations is that the FTC doesn't have power over ISPs anymore. This new bill does NOT give that authority back to the FTC.

JFC, I can't fucking believe I'm now having to go back to Reddit to get the "Alt View" on big news like this. Voat, pick up your fucking game.
