[Informatics] US Privacy laws

[Adrian Janson]

Hi all,

Some 'interesting' developments in the US at the moment with regard to
their privacy laws. Donald Trump is in the process of repealing privacy
legislation introduced by Obama that prevented ISPs from selling personal
data. This will mean that ISPs will be able to sell personal browsing
history and associated data - freely and without permission. I believe that
congress has already passed this change and a repeal will be made via
executive order.

SCARY times....

Adrian Janson
