[QUOTE]Congresswoman Jacky Rosen (NV-03) has introduced H.R. 1868, the Restoring American Privacy Act of 2017, which would reverse the recently signed S.J. Res. 34. America is still reeling from that repeal of FCC internet privacy protections that was rushed through both Houses late last month. Last Monday night, President Trump signed the internet privacy repeal into law in spite of calls for him to veto the controversial resolution. Despite the current lack of online privacy protections at a nationwide level, Congresswoman Rosen explained why she introduced H.R. 1868:
[QUOTE]“As someone who has first-hand experience as a computer programmer, I know that keeping privacy protections in place is essential for safeguarding vulnerable and sensitive data from hackers.”[/QUOTE]

On the Senate side, Massachusetts Senator Ed Markey has promised to introduce a bill that would restore internet privacy protections under the FCC. Senator Markey told CNET that he plans to “introduce legislation that directs the FCC to reinstate strong broadband privacy rules.”However, it hasn’t yet been introduced to the Senate.

Congresswoman Rosen’s bill in the House, similarly, reintroduces the internet privacy regulations by negating and reversing S.J. Res. 34.

And mad props to her for this. What's more, she's experienced in the related field, a trait seemingly absent in many Congressfolk.

I pray that she succeeds in restoring internet privacy.
