Daily Clout: Congress Just Voted to Let Internet Providers Sell Your Search History

On March 28, 2017,  the Senate passed a Joint Resolution, proposed by Senator Jeff Flake (R-AZ), that condemns a prior law regarding how the FCC asks Internet Service Providers to protect users' private browsing history and data. The consensus about this Resolution's immediate effect, is that it allows internet providers to sell the personal browsing history of individual citizens. The Joint Resolution was proposed on January 7, 2017, and not extensively publicly debated. Rather confoundingly, it is hard to see exactly the status of whether this Senate Joint Resolution has indeed passed both chambers. When you look at Congress.gov on your desktop, that site declares that the Resolution has indeed passed in both the House and the Senate. But on the mobile version of the same Government site, you will read at the exact same time (12:13 pm today, Wednesday March 29) that it has ONLY passed in the Senate, thus is not yet the law of the land.
