Senate votes to quash FCC rule that would limit ISPs selling consumer data without permission. Rule would prevent ISPs from selling information on consumers’ internet browsing, application use, location and finances. The new regulation would not have applied to web companies, such as Google and Facebook. Internet and Television Association: “We support this step toward reversing the FCC’s misguided approach and look forward to restoring a consistent approach to online privacy protection that consumers want and deserve” Privacy advocates: “ISPs act as gatekeepers to the internet, giving them incredible access to records””]
