The U.S. Senate votes to kill broadband provider privacy regulations. The rules would allow broadband providers to sell customers’ web-browsing history, geolocation, and other data without their permission. The vote was largely along party lines, with Republicans voting to kill the rules and Democrats voting to keep them. Critics of the rules say they are expensive to ISPs and subject them to tough privacy regulations not imposed on web-based companies like Google and Facebook. The FCC approved the regulations just five months ago.”]
