Crowd Surrounds Nullification of FCC Privacy Rules

The nullification of the Federal Communications Commission's broadband privacy rules at the stroke of the President Donald Trump's pen drew a big audience in Washington, most of them either to weigh in on one side or the other of the contentious issue.

House Commerce Committee Ranking Member Frank Pallone (D-NJ) said, “Once again, the American people lose out at the hands of President Trump and the Republican Congress. The Republicans thought they could jam through this harmful law without anyone noticing. But despite their effort to hide this latest corporate giveaway, Americans of all political stripes spoke out loud and clear to say that they wanted to keep their personal information private and secure. Despite this setback, the fight is not over, and I will work to restore privacy protections for the American people.”
