One of the commenter's statement below the article is that "nothing really changed" with this legislation. This is straight out of industry talking points. Although it is true that the recent FCC rules had yet to go into effect, the research, millions of public inputs and public interest briefs and the arduous rule making process has been ongoing for nearly 10 years, this throwing the baby out with the bathwater is the proverbial legislative "Green Light" that starts the race to the bottom for privacy and net neutrality that the industry has lobbied for many years. Wall street will now see dollar signs and reward and invest in the most aggressive and abusive companies. Yes this does matter, even if the former rules would not have solved the problem of invasion of privacy.
