29.3.2017 ACLU: Congress votes to gut Internet privacy protections

CONGRESS VOTES TO GUT INTERNET PRIVACY PROTECTIONS

Summary: The House of Representatives (and the Senate also voted today) to pass "S.J.Res.34" this overturns a FCC law requiring ISPs (Like Comcast, Time Warner, Version) to get customers’ permission before selling sensitive data, such as browsing history.

The ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) released an official statement about the ruling saying; “It is extremely disappointing that Congress is sacrificing the privacy rights of Americans in the interest of protecting the profits of major internet companies including Comcast, AT&T, and Verizon. President Trump now has the opportunity to veto this resolution and show he is not just a president for CEOs but for all Americans. Trump should use his power to protect everyone’s right to privacy.”

Course content: This bill was proposed by the house inside of a joint comity (Which were learning about!) Both the Senate and the House of Representatives voted to pass this resolution. I'm also using this in my proposed bill project. 

 My Position: I don't agree with this bill, I think it is against the fundamental rights of citizens and violates privacy rights. I hope that trump will veto the bill (but he probably will not).

Under Trump, Approach to Civil Rights Law Is Likely to Change Definitively

Summary: As usual my weekly Anti-Trump liberal propaganda has reached your eyes (Yes, you Mrs. Gurely). This is an older article from mid January. Very basically this article hates on the blatantly racist, homophobic, and anti-trans Attorney General, Senator Jeff Sessions. We cover his beliefs and quotes, here's a quick summary:

• He was outraged when Eric H. Holder Jr., the former attorney general, refused to defend a law banning gay marriage and told his state counterparts that they could ethically do the same regarding state bans.
• “It was shameful and disgraceful and an abandonment of the rule of law,” Mr. Sessions said in 2015. “I’m not happy about what’s happened to my Department of Justice.”
• [He was] arguing that there was no need for the federal government to become involved in prosecuting hate crimes against women or gay people that were already being prosecuted locally. 
• “I am not sure women or people with different sexual orientations face that kind of discrimination. I just don’t see it,” Mr. Sessions said, denying that he was anti-gay or anti-women.
• “These lawsuits undermine the respect for police officers and create an impression that the entire department is not doing their work consistent with fidelity to law and fairness,” Mr. Sessions said at his confirmation hearing. He said civil rights lawsuits hurt morale

Course content:

SOS: Anti-Gay, Anti-Women, Anti-Transgender, and doesn't believe that the police need to be punished for breaking the law...

The Trump Trifecta of bigotry and blatant disregard for civil rights...

This very obviously applies to the civil rights because the Attorney General plays a very, very important role in protecting the rights of all people. Something the Trump Administrations dose not seem to care about.

My Opinion: Is pretty evident, I don't like this guy. I think the country is going to take Two massive steps back (Like it does every-time a conservative gets in office) and were going to continually marginalize minorities like conservatives always have.

-All apologies for the Liberal  propaganda piece.
