I wasn't super surprised to see /pol/ ignoring this because they will ignore everything evil that Republicans do, but why does no one here seem to care about this? This seems like a huge deal to me and literally no one is talking about it. Why?

That's because you're late to the party. I've seen a few threads.
>>59546126
hasnt passed house yet.
hasnt been signed by trump yet either
>>59546180
The senate was the only chance of stopping it because the house is even more conservative. Trump will never veto this.

Fuck

This
>>59546126
we have been talking about this the whole day literally
>>59546139
How do Canadian laws compare to this? Are they any better?
>>59546126
SURPRISE SURPRISE
>>59546249
This isn't a conservative bill though.
>>59547293
as far as I know they're not allowed to do this
you'd bet your ass I'd be yelling at my mp if they could
>>59547693
Peter Julian would be getting a lot of emails from me if this shit was even looked at by the Liberals.
>>59547686
Jeff Flake?
>>59547686
only republicans voted yes on it
>>59548842
Did the government under Obama ever try to pass a similar bill?
>>59548856
No, they did not.
in my country they need to delete all data after 60 days, cant sell or give to government without warrant
>>59547686
Are you fucking autistic.
No republican voted no on the bill. No democrat voted yes on the bill. This is an entirely conservative bill.

>not caring about freedom of speach
>instead giving a shit about something that's already happening anyways
who's going to prove they're selling your data? who's going to spend the millions of dollars to take them to court?
also enjoy your lack of free speach, i hear talking about terrorist attacks is now against the law in canuckland.
what's next? you can't talk about the government if they rape you? why the fuck shouldn't you be allowed to talk about another group which is attacking your country and your countries allies.
shame shame.
to anyone who has no idea what i'm talking about, there's a law about "islamaphobia" in canada, basically if you talk about islam without licking muhammeds asshole, you get thrown in jail.
Some questions.
Sell to who?Anyone?
If sold, what limitations are there on what can be done with the data?
Does this mean it's legal to single out a politician from the data and sell/publish it? All web history, communications, etc?
