Massachusetts may be the latest state to consider protections for broadband privacy.
State Senate Republicans have filed legislation that would prevent internet service providers from using or selling customer information without their permission.
The bill is in response to a move by Republicans in Washington to repeal Obama-era federal regulations that would have prohibited collection of customer information without consent.
Senate Republican Leader Bruce Tarr says Congress "has created a situation that threatens consumer privacy."
Sen. Donald Humason, a Westfield Republican, says the bill would protect Massachusetts residents against the sale of their personal information.
The measure would also prohibit internet service providers from imposing a charge on consumers who do not give consent.
Several other states including Illinois, Minnesota and Montana are considering similar legislation.

in blue states we only elect republicans when they don't sell us out
The privacy protect bill should only apply to households where a member wasn't registered as a republican during the last republican primary in their state or national elections (whichever was most recent).
Since the vote happened along party lines in Congress, then people should face the consequences of willfully and knowingly supporting or opposing these policies at the voting booth.
